Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{1}{128}$
$\text{Probability of rain on a day} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\text{Probability of no rain on a day} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\text{To rain only on the first 4 days and not on last 3:}$
$= \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3 = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^7 = \frac{1}{128}$
