P(R) = 0.7
[tex]P(R\cap W)=0.5[/tex]
[tex]P(W)=\frac{P(R\cap W)}{P(R)}=\frac{0.5}{0.7}=0.71[/tex]

The chance of raining tomorrow  (B) is 70% while the chance of having a windy (A) and rainy weather is 50%. The chance hat it is windy, given that it is rainy is obtained from the rule of probability: p(A/B) = p (A and B) / p (B)
substituting, 
p(A/B) = 0.50/0.70 equal to 0.7143
