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.
For this Q:
mean=31
st.dev.=0.8
x=32
Calculate z-score:
z=(x-m)/s = (32-31)/0.8=1.25
This z-score value corresponding to the probability of 0.8944
