Question 384342: I would like to know if I answered this question correctly. I will not get the test back to know.
The probability of a flight being delayed at Lucky Lou Airport is .12 What is the probability that the next 3 flights will leave on time?
I answered .88 my thoughts were .12 is 12% and .88 is 88% and 88% + 12% = 100%
Can someone let me know if I answered this right?
Thank you so much!!

----
The probability a flight is on time is 0.88.
The probability 3 flights are on time is 0.88^3 = 0.6815

This is the answer because the events are independent.
