1. Hurricanes with lower minimum central pressure (measured in millibars) are more intense because when the pressure at the ocean's surface inside a hurricane is lower, more warm air and moisture is pulled into the eye of the hurricane at a faster rate. We know based on computer simulations that historically (pre-industrial), hurricane intensities have followed a normal distribution with a mean of 934 mb and a standard deviation of 30 mb.

What is the probability of a hurricane being less than 900 mb? Use the z-score % b. Climate model simulations can simulate hurricane frequency and intensity under different emissions scenarios. Simulations of hurricane intensity under high-CO, scenarios through year 2050 resulted in the distribution of intensity values plotted above (black lines and points). This represents about 700 simulations, with a sample mean of 923 mb and sample standard deviation of 25 mb. Compare this with the historic (pre-industrial) average intensity. i.
