Weather forecasts during a week in August gave the probability of rain as 0.1 for each day of the week. Assume that each day's weather is independent of all other days. What is the chance: (a) of rain on all seven days of the week? (b) of no rain during the week? (c) of a sequence wet-dry-wet-dry-wet-dry-wet?

Assume that the probability that it rains on any given day is 0.4 and is independent of other days. What is the probability of five days in a row without rain on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but not on Tuesday or Thursday? Also, what is the probability of three days without rain during the week and more days with rain than without during the week? Lastly, what is the probability of rain on Wednesday given rain on Monday and Tuesday?

The probability of rain each day is the same, and occurrences of rain are mutually independent. The expected number of non-rainy days before the next rain is 4. Calculate the probability that the second rain will not occur before 7 non-rainy days. (A) 0.11 (B) 0.23 (C) 0.40 (D) 0.50 (E) 0.55
