The probability that it rains and Sheila attends is (0.4)(0.2) = 0.08 . The probability that it doesn't rain and Sheila attends is (o.6)(0.8) .So the overall probability that Sheila attends is 0.08 + 0.48 = 0.56 = 56% .

You really are a ninja. You see the invisible probabilities for the chance of rain and Sheila’s weighted decisions. Amazing!!
