For the next 12 hours there is a 60% chance to train every hour.

What is the chance that it rains at any point during those 12 hours?

/E I need an equation :)

36%?

edit: i feel like the bold points are a trick, so i'm probably wrong
double edit: isn't there a homework sub?

Yeah, the odds are definitely worse for the whole twelve hours than any given single hour, well done.

I can't remember how to do this math off of the top of my head but assuming you're taking each as a discrete 'roll' I'm pretty sure it's gotta be in the 90s?

Yes!! ;)

I'm trying to explain it to these people that it would be pretty high, but they're trying to say it's going to be 60% <_<

I'm guessing it to be around 98%, but I don't know the equation.

so you're saying there's a 90% chance it will rain at any given point in 12 hrs? that seems high, but plz prove me wrong i like to learn

if theres 60 % in one hour then you do that twelve times obviously you have a higher chance overall

if you flip a coin 12 times what are the odds that it will land on heads at least once?
