The probability that a region prone to hurricanes will be hit by a hurricane in any single year is one tenth . what is the probability of a hurricane at least once in the next 5​ years?

Respuesta :

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%

What is the Probability?

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%
