Question

An airline’s weekly flight data showed a 98% probability of being on time. If this airline has 15,000 flights in a year, how many flights would you predict to arrive on time? Explain whether you can use the data
to predict whether a specific flight with this airline will be on time.

Answer 1

.98 * 15,000 = 14,700

Only 2 percent will arrive late so your flight will probably be on time. Of course the key word is "probably" and there is no way you can tell if yours is one of the two out of one hundred that are late.

Answer 2
