The shopping center cannot be built unless a zoning change is approved by the town council. The planning board must first make a recommendation, for or against the zoning change, to the council. A study of past decisions by the town council showed that 70% of the proposed zoning change proposals were approved by the town council, 30% were rejected. The decisions were not always consistent with the planning board recommendations. Among the proposals approved by the town council, 20% received negative recommendations from the planning board. Among the proposals rejected by town council, 10% received positive recommendations from the planning board.
The planning board has recommended against the zoning change. What is the probability that the town council will reject the zoning change?
