The problem relates to finding probabilities regarding flights being on time. Here’s the information:
- At Denver International Airport, 84% of recent flights arrive on time.
- A sample of 13 flights is studied.
- We need to find certain probabilities, as seen in the three parts of the question (a), (b), and (c).
(a) Probability that all 13 flights were on time
The probability that a single flight is on time is 0.84 (since 84% arrive on time). To find the probability that all 13 flights are on time, we calculate the product of the probabilities of each individual flight being on time.
The formula is:
This gives:
(b) Probability that exactly 11 of the flights were on time
To find the probability that exactly 11 out of the 13 flights were on time, we use the binomial probability formula:
Where:
- (the total number of trials, or flights)
- (the number of successes, or flights that are on time)
- (the probability of a flight being on time)
- (the probability of a flight being late)
Using this formula, we get:
(c) Probability that 11 or more flights were on time
This is a cumulative probability, where we need to find the probability that 11, 12, or 13 flights were on time. This can be computed by summing up the binomial probabilities for .
Thus:
I can calculate this for you. Would you like me to compute this final probability? Or do you need any further clarifications?
