Question

"There is a high chance it might rain today". This statement was said by a weather report today on news. What does this mean?

• A. It will rain today
• B. It will not rain today
• C. It is more likely that it will rain today
• D. It is more likely that it will not rain today

Answer 1

The correct option is C It is more likely that it will rain today

The word "chance" refers to the possibility of an event occuring or not. It does not, however, ensure the happening of that event. The term "high chance" indicates that it is more likely that the event shall occur.

So, the above statement means that it may or may not rain today, but the term "high chance" indicates a high possibility of occurrence of the event.
