To find the probability that a flight that departs on schedule also arrives on schedule, we can use the conditional probability formula:

P(arrives on schedule | departs on schedule) = P(arrives on schedule and departs on schedule) / P(departs on schedule)

Given that P(arrives on schedule and departs on schedule) is 68% and P(departs on schedule) is 87%, we can calculate the probability as:

P(arrives on schedule | departs on schedule) = 0.68 / 0.87 = 0.78

Therefore, the probability that a flight that departs on schedule also arrives on schedule is 0.78. Rounding to two decimal places, the answer is 0.78.
