5. During a rainy season, the number of hours it rained was recorded for the whole week in a table as shown below. \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline Day & Mon & Tue & Wed & Thu & Fri & Sat & Sun \\ \hline \begin{tabular}{l} Number of hours \\ it rained \end{tabular} & 2 & 4 & 1 & 3 & 6 & 5 & 7 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Use the information in the table to find the probability that: a) It rained on Sunday. \( \frac{1}{4} \) b) An hour on Tuesday had some rain. c) An hour in the week had rain.

Weather forecasts during a week in August gave the probability of rain as 0.1 for each day of the week. Assume that each day's weather is independent of all other days. What is the chance: (a) of rain on all seven days of the week? (b) of no rain during the week? (c) of a sequence wet-dry-wet-dry-wet-dry-wet?

3) Observed number of flood events in A, B and C regions within a 100-year period is given below. Number of floods 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Region A 52 28 12 5 2 1 0 Region B 5 14 27 24 18 10 2 Region C 12 35 24 16 8 4 1 a) For each region, find the probability of occurrence of at least 3 floods in one year. b) For each region, find the probability of occurrence of fewer than 5 floods in one year. c) Find the probability of occurrence of at most 2 flood events in the next 5 years.

The table below indicates the accuracy of a local weather report with respect to rain or no rain over the past year. This table gives the results of 365 consecutive days and compares whether it rained or not to whether or not rain was predicted. Did it actually rain? Yes No Report Predicted Rain 99 12 Report Predicted No Rain 46 208 (a) How many times was the prediction correct? How many times was it wrong? (b) If one day is randomly selected from last year, what is the probability that the prediction was correct? (c) Tomorrow, the same local weather report will be given. Estimate the probability that it will be correct with respect to rain or no rain.
