Answer

0.80 I would not recommend taking an umbrella

Work Step by Step

If the probability that it will rain tomorrow is $0.20$, the probability that it wont rain tomorrow is $1-0.20=0.80$ I would not recommend taking an umbrella as the probability of occurrence of rainfall is only 20 percent. This means that it is fairly certain that rain wont occur.
