However, based on the information provided in the question, we can make some assumptions. If P is in the upper right part of the map, it could be far from the current center of the hurricane's path, suggesting a lower risk (option C). Show more…

The image shows the cone forecast map of a hurricane. Location P is marked in the upper right part of the map. Which statement BEST describes the risk of damage due to the hurricane at P? A) The risk is high as P lies near the border of the potential track area. B) The risk is low as P lies where the hurricane is predicted to lose strength. C) The risk is low as P lies far from the current center of the hurricane's path. D) The risk is high as P lies directly on the predicted center of the hurricane's path.

The image below was generated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to monitor weather systems that could evolve into tropical cyclones. Satellite images and weather data have been entered into a computer model, which has identified three systems that might become tropical cyclones. Each system is associated with a different likelihood of turning into a tropical cyclone. The image suggests that there is some uncertainty in the computer models used to make weather predictions.
On September 18, 2003, hurricane Isabel struck the North Carolina Coast, causing extensive damage. For several days prior to reaching land the National Hurricane Center had been predicting the hurricane would come on shore between Cape Fear, North Carolina, and the North Carolina-Virginia border. It was estimated that the probability the hurricane would actually strike in this area was 0.84. In fact, the hurricane did come on shore almost exactly as forecast and was almost in the center of the strike area. STORM CONTINUES NORTHWEST Position : 27.8 N, 71.4 W Movement: NNW at 8 mph Sustained winds: 105 mph As of 11 p.m. EDT Tuesday Hurricane watch Tropical storm watch The National Hurricane Center forecasts that the hurricane will hit the strike area with a probability of 0.84. a. What probability distribution does this follow? (Click to select) b. If there are 7 hurricanes this season, what is the probability that all reach the strike area? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability c. What is the probability at least one of 7 hurricanes reaches land outside the strike area? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
