The histogram shows the distribution of hurricanes that have hit a country from 1851 through 2015, where 1 is the weakest level and 5 is the strongest level. 1= 0.411

2=0.278

3=0.221

4=0.080

5=0.010

(a) Find the mean, variance and standard deviation of the probability distribution.

(b) Interpret the results: A, B, C or D.

A. The average hurricane is aprox. category 1.

B. The average hurricane is aprox. category 2.*

C. Most of the hurricane sizes differ from the average by about 2 or 3.

D. Most of the hurricane sized differ from the average by about 1 or 2.*

a) mean = 0.2

variance = 0.0391

standard deviation = 0.198

b) The average hurricane is aprox. category 2.*  (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the mean, variance, and standard deviation, let us for a table for the data:

level            x

1             0.411

2            0.278

3            0.221

4            0.080

5            0.010

Calculating the mean ()

∴Mean = 0.2

level            x                  

1             0.411         0.211         0.0445  

2            0.278       0.078        0.0608

3            0.221        0.021         0.000441    

4            0.080        -0.12         0.0144

5            0.010         -0.19         0.0361

standard deviation = √(variance)

Standard deviation = √(0.0391)

Standard deviation = 0.198

b) the average hurricane is aprox.  category 2 (B)

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does
