Question 1141876: The probability that an international flight leaving the US is delayed in departing (event D) is .26. The probability that an international flight leaving the US is a transpacific flight (even tP is. 54. The probability that an international flight leaving the US is a transpacific flight and is delayed in departing is .14.
What is the probability that an international flight leaving the US is delayed in departing given that the flight is a transpacific flight? (Round answers to 4 decimal places)
