A team of scientists is monitoring the development of a hurricane off the coast of Florida. They use satellite imagery and data from other sources to track the movement of the hurricane. They input the data and any new information they receive into a computer to create model of the storm.

Freda is worried about an upcoming vacation she has planned. In the past, the area she is planning to visit has experienced extreme weather conditions. She receives the following advice from her four friends.
Henry: “I think you should postpone your trip. I watched an old documentary about a hurricane that made landfall around the same date that you are scheduled to arrive.”
Ian: “I think you should go ahead with your plans. I read in the most recent edition of the Farmer’s Almanac that this year's hurricane season is not supposed to be that dangerous.”
Julia: “I think you should postpone your trip. I checked the local 3-day weather forecast for the area, and you are scheduled to arrive the same day meteorologists predict the hurricane to make landfall.”
Kelsey: “I think you should go ahead with your plans. About three weeks ago, I watched a news report about this hurricane when it was just developing in the ocean. At the time, scientists predicted the hurricane would lose its energy before making landfall.”
