Answer:
Explanation:
To make the information easier to handle, write your data using mathematical (probabilities) language:
1. <em>The probability that an international flight leaving the united states is delayed in departing (event d) is .28</em>
- P(D) = 0.28
<u>2. The probability that an international flight leaving the united states is a transpacific flight (event p) is .55.</u>
- P(P) = 0.55
3. <em>The probability that an international flight leaving the u.s. is a transpacific and is delayed in departing is .13.</em>
- P(P∩D) = 0.13
4. <em>What is the probability that an international flight leaving the United States is delayed given that the flight is a transpacific flight?</em>
P(D/P) = ?
To solve use conditional probability:
- Conditional probability formula: P (A/B) = P (A ∩ B) / P(B)
Substituting the data for this problem:
- P (D/P) = P (D ∩ P) / P (P) = 0.13/0.55 = 0.24
