20 / 108 reduces to 5/27

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a [tex]\frac{5}{27}[/tex] probability it is longer than 3 hours.

What is a probability?

  • A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem:

  • There is a total of 108 flights.
  • Of those, 20 are longer than 3 hours.

Hence:

[tex]p = \frac{20}{108} = \frac{10}{54} = \frac{5}{27}[/tex]

There is a [tex]\frac{5}{27}[/tex] probability it is longer than 3 hours.
