Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 6.2 per year. a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 5 hurricanes. b. In a 35-year period, how many years are expected to have 5 hurricanes? c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of years in which years had hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?
