Answer:

0.9355

Step-by-step explanation:

What we will use here is conditional probability formula.

let A be the event that the plane departs on time

and B be the event that it arrives on time

P(A) = 0.87

P(B|A) = 0.93

P(B) = ?

P(A n B) = ?

Mathematically;

P(B|A) = P(B nA)/P(A)

0.93 = 0.87/P(A)

P(A) = 0.87/0.93

P(A) = 0.935483870967742

which is 0.9355 to four decimal places
