Explain why number of storms had the highest probability


Discuss the below:

Q: If the probability of a snow storm producing over 20 inches of snow in Easton, PA in a given winter is .33, what is the probabilty that over a period of 10 winters-they will have had 2 winters with such a storm? (Note-by using the binomial distribution for this problem, we're assuming that a success is a winter with a snowstorm of greater than 20 inches. It doesn't take into account that in reality there could be more than 1 such storm in any given year.)

a What exact number of winters with a snowstorm over 20 inches (success) do you expect to have the greatest probability of occurring?

b Once you have recorded your guess-perform the same probabiliy calculations for 0, 1, 3, and 4 winters.

c Which did you find to have the highest probability?

d How would you explain why this number of storms had the highest probability?
