Your flight has been delayed: At Denver International Airport, 85% of recent flights have arrived on time. A sample of 14 flights is studied. Round the probabilities to at least four decimal places.(a) Find the probability that all 12 of the flights were on time.(b) Find the probability that exactly 10 of the flights were on time.(c) Find the probability that 10 or more of the flights were on time.(d) Would it be unusual for 11 or more of the flights to be on time?

a. p=1.000

b. p=0.2924

c. p=0.7358

d. No

Step-by-step explanation:

a. This problem satisfies all the criteria for a binomial experiment expressed as:

-Given that p=0.85, n=14, the probability that exactly all 14 were on time is calculated as:

Hence, the probability that all 12 flights are on time is 1.0000

b. Given that n=12, and p=0.85

-The probability that exactly 10 flights are on time is calculated as;

Hence, the probability that exactly 10 flights are on time is 0.2924

c. Given that n=12, and p=0.85

-The probability that more of 10 or more flights are on time:

Hence, the probability of 10+ flights being on time is 0.7358

d. We first find the mean of the distribution:

#We then find the probability of 11+=0.3012+0.1422=0.4434

-We compare the expectation to the probability of 11+ flights being on time.

No. Since the probability =0.4434 < that the expectation, 11.9, it is not unusual  for 11+ flights to be on time.

*I have used a sample size of n=12 since there are two separate n values:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
