Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 5.6

5.6 per year.

a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 3

3 hurricanes.

b. In a 45-year period, how many years are expected to have
3 hurricanes?

c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 4 years had 3 hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?
