Note Sometimes data are valid only in special circumstances. For instance, a statistical sourcemay indicate that a specific number of aircraft accidents due to bird strikes take place every 100,000 hours. One may conclude from this data that the probability of a bird strike is comparatively low. Hidden by the data analysis proach is the fact that at certain airfields, such as Boston, the Midway Islands and other coastal and insular areas where birds abound, the probability of a bird strike accident is much higher fiian file average. This example demonstrates that generalized probabilities will not serve well for specific, localized areas. This applies to other environmental hazards such as lightning, fog, rain, snow and hurricanes.
