Question 867340: I need guidance to solve this...
The rates of on-time commercial jets are continuously tracked by the U.S Department of Transportation. Recently, southwest Air had the best rate with 80% of its flights arriving on time. A test is conducted by randomly selecting 10 southwest flights and observing whether they arrive on time. Find the probability that at most 3 flight arrive late.
Thanks!

----------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 10 and p(on time) = 0.8
----
P(0<= x <=3) = binomcdf(10,0.8,3) = 0.0008644..
