Suppose that the
A) The state has been hit by close to (but not necessarily exactly) 100 hurricanes in the past 1000 years because as the years increase, the closer the proportion of hurricanes should be to 0.1.
B) If no hurricanes have hit the state in the past 10 years, then the probability of a hurricane hitting next year is greater than 0.1 because the state is due for a hurricane.
C) The state has been hit by close to (but not necessarily exactly) 100 hurricanes in the past 1000 years because as the years increase, the proportion of hurricanes that hit the state should decrease.
D)The state has been hit by exactly 100 hurricanes in the past 1000 years because 100 is how many times the state was expected to be hit by hurricanes.
E) If no hurricanes have hit the state in the past 10 years, then the probability of a hurricane hitting next year is greater than 0.1 because every year without a hurricane increases the next year's probability.
