If the odds favoring rain tomorrow are 3 to 1, then we have 3%2F4favoring rain tomorrow and 1%2F4 not favoring rain tomorrow :
the probability of rain today is +3%2F4 or 0.75
which means that the probability that it will not rain is 1-0.75=0.25 or 1%2F4
so,the probability of rain tomorrow is:
B)+0.75
