Answer:

Based on the meteorologist's estimates, the probability of a future tropical storm to originate in the Pacific Ocean and be classified as major is c. 0.17

Explanation:

The total percentage of future tropical storm is 80% which is the sum of tropical storms in the eastern Pacific Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. However, the problem asks for the total probability of being a major storm. In the eastern Pacific Ocean, it would be <u>0.045 which is 15% of 30</u> (total tropical storms in the eastern Pacific Ocean). In the western Pacific Ocean, it would be <u>0.125 which is 25% of 50</u> (total tropical storms in the western Pacific Ocean). The sum of both probabilities = 0.17, which is answer c.
