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

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

33 hurricanes.

b. In a 55-year period, how many years are expected to have 33

hurricanes?

c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of

55 years in which 6 years had 3

hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?
