The probability of no rain today is 1 - 0.40 = 0.60. The probability of no rain tomorrow is 1 - 0.52 = 0.48. Since the events are independent, we can multiply the probabilities to get the probability of no rain on either day:
0.60 x 0.48 = 0.288 ≈ 0.29
Therefore, the answer is C.

There Is a 40% Chance of Rain Today and a 52
