The probability that it will rain on any particular day is 50%. The probability that it rains only on the first 4 days of the week is: |
$\frac{1}{64}$ $\frac{1}{128}$ $\frac{1}{16}$ $\frac{1}{8}$ |
$\frac{1}{128}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{1}{128}$ $\text{Probability of rain on a day} = \frac{1}{2}$ $\text{Probability of no rain on a day} = \frac{1}{2}$ $\text{To rain only on the first 4 days and not on last 3:}$ $= \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3 = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^7 = \frac{1}{128}$ |
