You can put this solution on YOUR website! The rates of on-time flights for 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 1919 Southwest flights and observing whether they arrive on time.
(a) Find the probability that at least 66 flights arrive on time.
Binomial Problem with n = 1919 and p = 0.8
---
P(x >=66) = 1 - binomcdf(1919,0.8,65) = 1
------
Note:: I think you have posted the wrong number for n.
80% of 1919 is far more than 66.
