The rates of on-time flights for commercial jets are continuously tracked by the u. s. department of transportation. recently, southwest air had the best reate with 80 % of its flights arriving on time. a test is conducted by randomly selecting 10 southwest flights and observing whether they arrive on time. (a) find the probability that at least 3 flights arrive late.

There is a 32.22% probability that at least 3 flights arrive late.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each flight, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it arrives on time, or it arrives late. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial probability concepts.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

There are 10 flights, so .

A success in this case is a flight being late.  80% of its flights arriving on time, so 100%-80% = 20% arrive late. This means that .

(a) Find the probability that at least 3 flights arrive late.

Either less than 3 flights arrive late, or at least 3 arrive late. The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1. This means that:

In which

So

Finally

There is a 32.22% probability that at least 3 flights arrive late.
