Answer 1

Answer:

0.815

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, on January 1st, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it snows, or it does not snow. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1.

In this question:

0.185 probability of snow on January 1.

p probability of not snowing on January 1

0.185 + p = 1

p = 1 - 0.185

p = 0.815

The answer is 0.815
