\text { Given } \\

\begin{aligned} P\left(E_1\right) & =0.5, P\left(E_2\right)=0.6 \\ P\left(E_1 \cup E_2\right) & =0.7 \end{aligned}

Where E_1 (Rain today)

E_2 = Rain Tomorrow

Required Peobability

\begin{aligned} & =P\left(E_1 \cap E_2\right) \\ & =P\left(E_1\right)+P\left(E_2\right)-P\left(E_1 \cup E_2\right) \end{aligned}

(Sign addition theorem)

\begin{aligned} & =0.65+0.6-0.7 \\ & =0.4 \end{aligned}
