Probability that it will rain at least 6 days  = probability that it will rain 6 days + probability it will rain all 7 days

 

Probability it will rain 6 days  .....we want to choose 6 of any 7 days.......and, on each of those days, the probability of rain is 90%.....and on the remaining day, the probability is only 10%.......so......we have this binomial probability:

 

C(7,6) (.90)^6(.10)  = about  37.2%

 

Probability it will rain all 7 days =  (.9)^7   = about 47.8%

 

So.....summing the probabilities, we have   [ 37.2 + 47.8]%  =  about 85%
