How do find the probability that it will rain or snow in a given day?

The simplest - and not very useful - method is to establish how many days in the year it rains or snows. Then that number, divided by 365 (or 365.25) is the probability that it will rain or snow on a given day.
You can improve on that estimate by considering data for only the days on which it rained or snowed during the relevant month in previous years. Further refinement can come from looking at what the weather was like on the previous day, previous 2 days and so on. Yet another improvement is to look at what is happening upwind from your location. Each refinement requires more information to be processed but improves your forecast. The trade-off is reached when the marginal cost and time spent in collecting and processing any additional data is just equal to the marginal benefit obtained from an improved forecast.

What is the probability of precipitation mean?
The chances that it will rain or snow at a given time.
True or false The' probability that it will rain today is 0.65 and probability that it will rain or snow is 0.55?
False; the "or" is an additive property so the probability of rain or snow muse be greater than or equal to 0.65.
What is the probability it will snow this Christmas?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. The probability of snow at any given time depends on location, which you did not give. Please restate the question.
What is certain event in probability?
A certain event is any event that will definitely happen. For example, the sunrise tomorrow is something that is certain to happen (although it might be obscured from view by rain, snow, fog or something else); this will certainly happen.
How much centimeters of rain are in 20 centimeters of snow?
The water equivalent of snow varies, but as a general rule, 20 centimetres of freshly fallen snow is equivalent to 2 cm of rain. If the snow has been lying around for a while then its density will increase.

If the probability that it will snow tomorrow is 43 what is the the probability that it will not snow?
If you mean 43%, then the probability that it will not snow is 57%, 0.57 or 57/100.
Which layer of the atmosphere do you find rain snow?
Rain and snow are typically formed in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from the Earth's surface up to an average altitude of about 11 miles (17 kilometers) and contains the majority of the Earth's weather phenomena.
What is the name given to water which falls from clouds as rain snow or hail?
Precipitation
How much snow does3 mm of rain equal?
There is no direct conversion between rain and snow because the amount of snow that is produced from a given amount of rain can vary greatly depending on factors such as temperature and humidity. On average, 10 mm of rain is roughly equivalent to 1 cm of snow. So, 3 mm of rain could potentially produce around 0.3 cm of snow.
What are the four major types of precipitation?
The four major types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water droplets falling to the ground, snow is ice crystals falling to the ground, sleet is rain that freezes as it falls, and hail is ice pellets formed in strong thunderstorms.
What is precipitation potential?
Precipitation potential refers to the likelihood or probability of precipitation occurring in a specific area within a given timeframe. It takes into account various meteorological factors such as humidity, temperature, and atmospheric dynamics to estimate the chances of rain, snow, or other forms of precipitation.
Where in the Us would you find the most yearly rain and snow?
Seattle, Washington
What is three types of precipitation?

What is the name given to the release of condensed matter back to the ground in the form of sleet snow hail or rain?
