Answer

$P( x < 10) = 0.0611$ Interpretation: The probability that fewer than 10 flights are on time is 0.0611. If we carry out 100 trials of this experiment, we expect that approximately 6 trials will result in fewer than 10 flights being on time.

Work Step by Step

$P( x < 10) = P(x \leq 9) = 0.0611$ (can be read directly off of table IV) Interpretation: The probability that fewer than 10 flights are on time is 0.0611. If we carry out 100 trials of this experiment, we expect that approximately 6 trials will result in fewer than 10 flights being on time.
