The probability that a region prone to hurricanes will be hit by a hurricane in any single year is one tenth or 0.1
P(at least one) = 1 - P(none in five years)
-----
= 1 - 0.90^5
= 1 - 0.59049
=0.40951 or 0.41.
41% probability that there will be a hurricane at least once in the next 5 years.
The probability of a hurricane at least once in the next 5 years is; 41%
We are given;
Probability that a region prone to hurricanes will be hit by a hurricane in any single year = 0.1
Thus;
P(at least once in five years) = 1 - P(none in five years)
P(at least once in five years) = 1 - 0.90⁵
P(at least once in five years) = 1 - 0.59049
P(at least once in five years) = 0.41 = 41%
