Answer:

TX: 0.23

LA: 0.24

MS: 0.03

AL: 0.03

FL: 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the map is shown.

Total length of the shoreline: 367 + 397 + 44 + 53 + 770 = 1631 miles

probability of the ship landing in Texas: 367/1631 =  0.23

probability of the ship landing in Louisiana: 397/1631 = 0.24

probability of the ship landing in Mississippi: 44/1631 = 0.03

probability of the ship landing in Alabama: 53/1631 = 0.03

probability of the ship landing in Florida: 770/1631 = 0.47
