Answer:
a. 0.1864
b. Events D and P are dependent
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
P(D)=0.29
P(P)=0.59
P(P and D)=P(P∩D)=0.11
We have to find
P(D/P)=?
P(D/P)=P(P∩D)/P(P)
P(D/P)=0.11/0.59=0.1864
Thus, the probability that an international flight leaving the United States is delayed in departing given that the flight is a transpacific flight is 18.64%
b.
The events D and P are independent if
P(D/P)=P(D)
P(D/P)=0.1864
P(D)=0.29
As P(D/P)≠P(D), so the events D and P are dependent.
