a)Suppose that an announcement is made saying that Flight 1424 will be arriving late. What is the most likely airline for this arrival? What is the least likely airline? 

b)Develop a joint probability table with three rows (airlines) and two columns (on-time arrivals vs. late arrivals). What is the highest probability and the lowest?

c)An announcement has just been made that Flight 1424 will be arriving at gate 20 in concourse A. What is the most likely airline for this arrival?

d)What is the probability that Flight 1424 will arrive on time?
