Suppose the National Hurricane Center forecasts that hurricanes will hit the strike area with a .95 probablity. Answer the following questions:
1. What probability distribution does this follow?
Ans: binomial with n = 10 and P(hit) = 0.95 ; P(hit elsewhere) = 0.05
------
2. What is the probability that 10 hurricanes reach landfall in the strkie area?
Ans: 0.95^10 = 0.5987
-----------------
3. What is the probability at least one of 10 hurricanes reaches land outside the strike area?
Ans: 0.05^10 = 9.76x10^-14
