What is the probability of the Bears winning on December 5?
-----------------------------------
P(win | not raining) = 2/3
------------------------------
P(win | raining) = 3/15
--------------------------
P(rain) = 3/4
=================================
Question:
P(win) = P(win | rain) + P(win | not raining) = 3/15 + 10/15 = 13/15
==================================
