Much of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park is over 12,000 feet high. Although it is a beautiful drive in summer months, in winter the road is closed because of severe weather conditions. Sustained gale-force winds (over 32 miles per hour and often over 90 miles per hour) occur on the average of 0.7 times every 56 hours at a Trail Ridge Road weather station. (a) Let r = frequency with which gale-force winds occur in a given...
