Calculate and state the probability of a safe flight with a three-engine jet, then a two-engine jet. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Hi,
p = 1/14,000 = .00007
P(x) = Binompdf(n,p,x)
Three Engines: n = 3
Binompdf(3,.00007,x) vary x as asked:
for ex P(x = 2) = binompdf(3,.00007,2) = .000000015 0r 1.5x10^(-8)
Two Engines: n = 2
Binompdf(2,.00007,x) vary x as asked:
