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 16 Southwest flights and observing whether they arrive on time. Find the probability that exactly 15 flights arrive late.
