Is the frequency of tornadoes in the US increasing?

There is some evidence that tornado frequency might be increasing but it is difficult to determine as with more advanced technology and greater knowledge of tornadoes we are now finding tornadoes that we would have previously missed.


What percentage of tornadoes have hit California?

From 1950 to 2011 there were 56,221 tornadoes recorded in the U.S. of which 388 or 0.6% hit California. This figure may be somewhat skewed as for the first 30 years or so of this period the majority of tornadoes were missed.


If a rifleman hits target 80 percent of the time If he fires four shots what is the probability he will hit the target exactly twice and what is the probability he will hit the target at least twice?

Probabilities are calculated by the binomial distribution. Ans: 0.1536 and 0.9728 Discussion: Prob of exactly two times = 4!/(2! x 2! ) x (0.8)^2 x (0.2)^2 = 0.1536 Prob of at least twice = hits target 2 times + hits target 3 times + hits target 4 times Prob of at least twice = 1 - Prob of no hits - Prob of one hit Prob of one hit = 4!/(3! x 1!) x (0.8)^1 x (0.8)^1 x (0.2)^3 = 0.0256 Prob of no hits= 4!/(0! x 4!) x (0.8)^0 x (0.2)^4 = (0.2)^4 = 0.0016 Prob of 2 or more hits = 1-0.0256-0.0016 = 0.9728 Note: You can calculate these values using Excel, where Prob of 2 hits = binom(2,4,0.8,false) and Prob of 2 or more hits = 1 - binom(1,4,0.8,false) - binom(0,4,0.8,false) or: Prob of 2 > hits = 1- binom(1,4,0.8,true) , as false is requesting the PMF value and true is requesting CDF value. See help in Excel for further explanation on this function. Also, there might be an issue of independent events in this problem, in that the probability is given as a constant. If a rifleman missed three times, do you think he would learn and might do better than his average on the fourth shot?


Missed your menses for 3 days and had bits of blood for 2 days what does it mean?

Is it possible that you could be pregnant? If so, these could be pregnancy symptoms. Take a pregnancy test. If not, it's unlikely to be something to worry about, but if your next period is missing or unusual you should see a doctor
