Question
According to an​ airline, flights on a certain route are on time
75​%
of the time. Suppose
24
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 probability that exactly
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.
There are two mutually exclusive​ outcomes, success or failure.
 
B.
The trials are independent.
 
C.
The experiment is performed a fixed number of times.
 
D.
Each trial depends on the previous trial.
 
E.
The probability of success is the same for each trial of the experiment.
 
F.
There are three mutually exclusive possibly​ outcomes, arriving​ on-time, arriving​ early, and arriving late.
 
G.
The experiment is performed until a desired number of successes is reached.
(b) The probability that exactly 15 flights are on time is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Interpret the probability.
In 100 trials of this experiment, it is expected about
to result in exactly 15 flights being on time.
(Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
(c) The probability that fewer than 15 flights are on time is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Interpret the probability.
In 100 trials of this experiment, it is expected about
(Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
to result in fewer than 15 flights being on time.
(d) The probability that at least 15 flights are on time is
