The contrapositive of a conditional statement is formed by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion, and then interchanging the resulting negations.

The original statement is: "If it is drizzling, then the home team misses."

To form the contrapositive, we first negate both parts: "If it is not drizzling, then the home team does not miss."

Then we interchange them: "If the home team does not miss, then it is not drizzling."

So, the contrapositive of the statement “The home team misses whenever it is drizzling” is: "If the home team does not miss, then it is not drizzling."

This corresponds to option (a) "If the home team wins, then it is not drizzling" (assuming that not missing means winning).
