why is the rate of addition is in the order of their strength as acids?
HCl>HBr>HI
and why H+ ion adds first to the alkene
HCl>HBr>HI
and why H+ ion adds first to the alkene
I don't think your order of acid strength is correct

well then correct it for me and answer the question, please.

The order of acid strength goes as follows
HI > HBr > HCl
As an increasing size of anion --> poorer orbital overlap --> weaker bonding --> more likely to dissociate
Hence for HI you have greater concentrations of H+ and X- as compared to HBr or HCl
