Problem

This table provides data on daily maximum temperatures in Barcelona during summer.
Summer temperatures in BarcelonaJuneJulyAugust
Mean days with maximum ≥40∘C\geq40^\circ\text{C}0.31.20.7
Mean days with maximum ≥35∘C\geq35^\circ\text{C}3.05.85.3
Mean days with maximum ≥30∘C\geq30^\circ\text{C}9.412.312.0
(1) Estimate the probability that, on an August day in Barcelona, the maximum temperature will be 35∘C35^\circ\text{C} or higher, and the probability that it will be less than 30∘C30^\circ\text{C}. (2) Estimate the probability that, on any summer day in Barcelona, the maximum temperature will be 30∘C30^\circ\text{C} or higher. (3) It is a 40∘C40^\circ\text{C} summer day in Barcelona. Estimate the probability that the month is July.
