Question:

Refer to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study of beaches with high erosion rates (i.e., beach hot spots). Exercise 2.5. The data for six beach hot spots are reproduced in the table below.
a. Suppose you record the nearshore bar condition of each beach hot spot. Give the sample space for this experiment.
b. Find the probabilities of the simple events in the sample space, part a.
c. What is the probability that a beach hot spot has either a planar or single shore parallel-nearshore bar condition?
d. Now, suppose you record the beach condition of each beach hot spot. Give the sample space for this experiment.

e. Find the probabilities of the simple events in the sample space, part d.
f. What is the probability that the condition of the beach at a hot spot is not flat?


Data from Exercise 2.5

Beaches that exhibit high erosion rates relative to the surrounding beach are defined as erosional hotspots. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a study of beach hotspots using an online questionnaire. Information on six beach hotspots was collected. Some of the data are listed in the table.
