Probability of a Snow Day
When the weatherman says the chance of snow in the city is a certain percent, this is a measurement called “Probability of Precipitation.” The “Probability of Precipitation” is the chance of precipitation occurring in any area of the city. The formula for Probability of Precipitation is PoP = C × A, where C is the percent chance precipitation will occur somewhere in the city, expressed as a decimal, and A is the fraction of the city that will receive precipitation.
