You are going to meet a friend at the airport. Your experience tells you that the plane is late 70% of the time when it rains, but is only late 20% of the time when it doesn’t rain. The weather forecast for that morning calls for a 40% chance of rain. What is the probability that it rained, if the plane is late?
