This question comes from this post, where I am trying to express the following meaning clearly and concisely.
this is clear but not concise
on a rainy day, Bob is grumpy with a 60 % chance, Bob is happy with a 40 % chance.
is this clear and concise?
on a rainy day, Bob is grumpy with a 60 % chance, happy with 40 %
Answer
Thank you for linking to the post where the statement originated. It explains the very odd, and perfectly correct, syntax of (thing occurs) with a (percent) chance.
The most concise you should make the sentence, and still have it readable for humans, is something like :
On a rainy day, Bob is grumpy with a 60 % chance and happy with a 40 % chance.
