I am sorry.  IPOD died....The question is if the probablility that it wil snow on Sunday is 3/5 and the probability tht it will snow both Sunday AND Monday is 3/10, what is the probability that it will snow on Monday if it snowed on Sunday?  I know that the answer is 1/2 but I do not know how to explain it to my daughter.  P= 3/10 divided by 3/5 but WHY

well, this is a given problem..

what is the probability it will snow monday | it snowed on sunday

that is the probability of it snowing both days over it snowing on monday

so (3/10) divided by (3/5) = 1/2|dw:1339614570431:dw|
