Question 62665: In the Jetfighter IV Fortress America computer game, it takes an average of eight (8) landing attempts to make a successful carrier landing after a mission. On the other hand, a landing at a field runway is successful 80 per cent of the time after a mission, but the chances of being downed by an enemy SAM (surface-to-air missle) site trying to get to the field runway is five out of ten. You are the leader of a flight of four aircraft and each aircraft only has enough fuel remaining to either attempt 8 carrier landings or fly all the way to the field for one landing attempt. What are the best chances that the most pilots in your flight will make a successful landing. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You haven't given any information on the probability
of landing safely on the ship. How can you compare?
cheers,
