Answer:
You would expect 7 flights to arrive late
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the fraction of the last flights that were late.
We have 3 out of 6 flights were late. That is;
3 out of 6 = [tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
S, half of the flights were late.
So, we expect half of the next flights to be late, as well.
That is, Half of 14 flights = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 14 = 7 flights
Answer:
7 flights
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can establish a rule of three using the information that the question gave:
In the last 6 flights, 3 were late, so from the next 14 flights, how many we expect to be late:
6 total flights -> 3 flights late
14 total flights -> X flights late
6/14 = 3/X
X = 14 * 3 / 6 = 7
From the 14 flights, we expect 7 flights to be late.
