What is the probability that the certain state will be hit by at least two major hurricanes in a single year, as happened a couple years ago? Is the probability usual or unusual?
For the past 108 years, a certain state suffered 38 direct hits from major (category 3 to 5) hurricanes. Assume that this was typical and the number of hits per year follows a Poisson distribution.
Complete parts (a) through (d).
(a) What is the probability that the state will not be hit by any major hurricanes in a single year?
The probability is. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
