American Airlines' flights from Boston to Atlanta are on time
70% of the time. Suppose 8 flights are randomly selected, and the
number on-time flights is recorded. Use the binomial distribution
to compute the following.
(a) The probability that exactly 2 flights are on
time is
(b) The probability that more than 7 flights are
on time is
(c) The probability that at most 4 flights are on
time is
Round all answers to at least 4 decimal places.
Given:
American Airlines' flights from Boston to Atlanta are on time 70% of the time.
p = 0.70
n = 8
X~Binomial(n=8, p=0.70)
Therefore
a) The probability that exactly 2 flights are on time is
0.0100
(b) The probability that more than 7 flights are on time is
0.0576
(c) The probability that at most 4 flights are on time is
0.1941
