Suppose the weather forecast states there is a 10% chance of rain and 15% chance of snow today. Then, if it rains or snows today, there is a 90% chance it will be cloudy tomorrow. Otherwise, there is a 30% chance it will be cloudy tomorrow. What is the probability it will be cloudy tomorrow? Please show your work and enter your answer as a decimal.
