Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
