Problema Solution
The chance of a hurricane hitting during any year in the area Victor will move to is .10 what is the probability Victor will have a hurricane 3 years in a row
Answer provided by our tutors
If the events A and B, are independent, the probability of both occurring is:
P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B)
Same way for three independent events A, B and C:
P(A and B and C) = P(A) · P(B) · P(C)
In our case A = B = C and P(A) = 0.10
P(hurricane 3 years in a row) = 0.10·0.10·0.10
P(hurricane 3 years in a row) = 0.001 or 0.1%
