The National Hurricane Center forecasts that hurricanes will hit the strike areas with a 0.95 probability. What is the probability that 10 hurricanes reach landfall in the strike area?
Ans: 0.95^10 = 0.6
--------------------------
What is the probability at least one of the 10 hurricanes reaches land outside the strike area?
--------------
P(strick outside) = 0.1
P(x = 1) = 10C1*0.1*0.9^9 = 0.3874
