Read the six sentences and track the forecast percentage, its uncertainty and Ece’s preparation.
The idea
The report gives a sixty-percent chance of afternoon rain. Ece understands that a chance is not a guarantee and packs a raincoat. Rain later falls in this story; a later outcome does not make the earlier forecast certain.
