flights are randomly selected and the number of on-time flights is recorded.(a) Explain why this is a binomial experiment.
(b) Find and interpret the probability that exactly
13
flights are on time.(c) Find and interpret the probability that fewer than
13
flights are on time.(d) Find and interpret the probability that at least
13
flights are on time.(e) Find and interpret the probability that between
