Using the binomial distribution as a model for the freezing of Cayuga Lake as presented in Examples 4.1 and 4.2, calculate the probability that the lake will freeze at least once during the four-year stay of a typical Cornell undergraduate in Ithaca.
Using the Gaussian distribution with = 19C and = 1.7C:
a. Estimate the probability that January temperature (for Miami, Florida) will be colder than 15C.
b. What temperature will be higher than all but the warmest 1% of Januaries at Miami?
