Suppose you live in an extremely unfortunate climate where it always rains on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). For that matter, there is always a chance of rain on a weekday (Monday-Friday) as well. If you have completely forgotten which day of week it is (so that it is equally likely to be any of the seven days), but you go outside and see that it's raining, what is the probability that it's the weekend?
