Default Probability of Rainfall?

Assuming those probabilities are accurate representations of the situation,
the probability rain occurs each day is simply (.5)(.4) = .2 = 20 %.


That is also if the events are conisdered independent. If they were
completely dependent, it'd be

20 % = P = 40 %

I.e., the greatest it can be is that of the lowest day.
