The weatherman says that there is a 72% chance of rain today.
What is the probability that it will not rain today?
100% - 72% = 28%
this can also be expressed as 72/100 = 18/25 or .72
What are the odds that it will rain today?
72 to 28 = 18 to 7 = 2.57
What are the odds that it will not rain today?
28 to 72 = 7 to 18 = .39
Simplify your answers and round to the nearest hundredth as needed.
