Question

According to an airline, flights on a certain route are on time 85% of the time. Suppose 20 flights are randomly selected and the number of on-time flights is recorded.
(a) Explain why this is a binomial experiment
(b) Find and interpret the probabdity that exadly 15 flights are on time.
(c) Find and interpret the probability that fewer than 15 flights are on time.
(d) Find and interpret the probability that at least 15 flights are on time.
(e) Find and interpret the probability that between 13 and 15 flights, inclusive, are on time.
(a) Identify the statements that explain why this is a binomial experiment. Select all that apply.
A. Each trial depends on the previous trial
B. There are three mutually exclusive possibly outcomes, arriving on-time, arriving early, and arriving late.
C. The experiment is performed unti a desired number of successes is reached
D. The trials are independent.
E. The probability of success is the same for each trial of the experiment.
F. There are two mutually exclusive outcomes, success or failure.
G. The experiment is performed a fixed number of times.​

Answer 1

Answer:

See the answers below. Thanks!

Step-by-step explanation:

(a). Option F is the correct choice. "There are two mutually exclusive outcomes, success or failure."

(b). P(X=15) = 0.1702

(c). P(X<15) = 0.0673

(d). P(X>=15) = 1 - P(X<15) = 0.9327

(e). P(13<=X<=15) = 0.1482
