According to flightstats.com, American Airlines flights from Dallas to Chicago are on time 80% of the time. Suppose 17 flights are randomly selected, and the number of on-time flights is recorded. (a) Explain why this is a binomial experiment. (b) Determine the values ofn and p. (c) Find and interpret the probability that exactly 11 flights are on time. (d) Find and interpret the probability that fewer than 11 flights are on time. (e) Find and interpret the probability that at least 11 flights are on time. () Find and interpret the probability that between 9 and 11 flights, inclusive, are on time. (a) Identify the statements that explain why this is a binomial experiment. Select all that apply. O A. Each trial depends on the previous trial. O B. There are two mutually exclusive outcomes, success or failure. OC. There are three mutually exclusive possible outcomes, arriving on-time, arriving early, and arriving late. O D. The probability of success is the same for each trial of the experiment.

Flexible Work Hours In a recent survey, people were asked whether they would prefer to work flexible hours----even when it meant slower career advancement----so they could spend more time with their families. The figure shows the results of the survey. What is the probability that three people chosen at random would prefer flexible work hours?
In Example 8, what is the probability that an employee chosen at random has 30 or more years of service?
DISCUSS: Most Likely Outcome for n Tosses of a Coin A balanced coin is tossed n times. In this exercise we investigate the following question: What is the number of heads that has the greatest probability of occurring? Note that for a balanced coin the probability of heads is p = 0.5. Suppose n = 8. Draw a probability histogram for the resulting binomial distribution. What number of heads has the greatest probability of occurring? If n = 100, what number of beads has the greatest probability of occurring? Suppose n = 9. Draw a probability histogram for the resulting binomial distribution. What number of heads has the greatest probability of occurring? If n = 101, what number of heads has the greatest probability of occurring?
a What is meant by an experiment? Sample space? b What is an event? c Define the probability of an event E in a sample space S in which all outcomes are equally likely. d What is the probability of the complement of E? e If a coin is tossed three times, what is the probability of getting all heads? At least one tail?
