Hurricanes, redux We first looked at the occurrences of hurricanes in Chapter 3 (Exercise 47 ). Suppose we find and the arrivals can be modeled by a Poisson distribution with mean 2.45 . a) What's the probability of no hurricanes next year? b) What's the probability that during the next two years, there's exactly 1 hurricane?
A certain region of a country is, on average, hit by 8 hurricanes a year. (a) What is the probability that the region will be hit by fewer than 8 hurricanes in a given year? (b) What is the probability that the region will be hit by anywhere from 2 to 4 hurricanes in a given year? Click here to view the table of Poisson probability sums.
