Since 1851, exactly 119 hurricanes have hit Florida (this includes the years 1851 and 2019),—only direct hits by hurricanes are

Answer:

There is a 0.58% probability of Florida being struck by four or more hurricanes in the same year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have only the mean during the interval, we can solve this problem using the Poisson probability distribution.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

Poisson probability distribution

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

$e = 2.71828$ is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

In this problem, we have that:

Since 1851, exactly 119 hurricanes have hit Florida (this includes the years 1851 and 2019). Counting 1851 and 2019, there are 169 years in this interval. This means that $\mu = \frac{119}{169} = 0.704$

If the probability of hurricane strikes has remained the same since 1851, what is the probability of Florida being struck by four or more hurricanes in the same year?

This is $P(X \geq 4)$ .

Either Florida is struck by less than four hurricanes in a given year, or it is struck by 4 or more. The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1.

$P(X < 4) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)$

In which

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

So

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.704}*(0.704)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.4946$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.704}*(0.704)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3482$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.704}*(0.704)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1226$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-0.704}*(0.704)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0288$

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.4946 + 0.3482 + 0.1226 + 0.0288 = 0.9942$

Finally

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.9942 = 0.0058$

There is a 0.58% probability of Florida being struck by four or more hurricanes in the same year.
