Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 7.4 per year. a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 5 hurricanes. b. In a 55-year period, how many years are expected to have 5 hurrcanes? c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 55 years in which 6 years had 5 hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here? a. The probability is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. The expected number of years with 5 hurricanes is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) c. The result from part (b) is | the number of hurricanes in the recent period of 55 years, so the Poisson distribution appear to work well in the given situation.
