The complexity of arrivals and departures of planes at an airport is such that
computer simulation is often used to model the "ideal" conditions. For a certain
airport with three runways, it is known that in the ideal setting the following are
the probabilities that the individual runways are accessed by a randomly arriving
commercial jet:
Runway 1:
Runway 2:
Runway 3:
What is the probability that 6 randomly arriving airplanes are distributed in the
Pi = 2/9,
P2 = 1/6,
P3 = 11/18.
6,
following fashion?
