Question 1 pts
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), between 1851 and 2013 there were 290 hurricanes that hit the
U.S. Coast. Of these, 117 were Category 1 hurricanes, 76 were Category
2 hurricanes, 76 were Category 3 hurricanes, 18 were Category 4
hurricanes, and 3 were Category 5 hurricanes.
Make a probability distribution for this data. If a hurricane hits the U.S.
coast, what is the probability that the hurricane will be a Category 1
hurricane.
Your Answer:
Hurricane Probability
Category 1 117/290= .40
Category 2 76/290= .26
Category 3 76/290= .26
Category 4 18/290= .06
Category 5 3/290= .01

Solution:
We can see from the probability distribution, that if a hurricane hits
the U.S. coast, there is a .403 probability that it is a category 1
hurricane.
Question 2 pts
