As the title says, I have some basic questions.
Say I have worked out that, on a given day, the probability of rain is 0.6. Now I love going on walks, but I can only go when it rains and on weekends. What is the probability I'll be able to go on a walk on a given weekend day? Intuitively I'd say the probability is the same as above, but my intuition always fails dramatically when it comes to probability calculations. Or is it *2/7?
Having worked out said probability, I then want to know on how many days, approximately, I'll be able to go on a walk each year. Do I just take the probability - let's call it P - and work out P*2/7*365.25?
Help would be very much appreciated.
