The probability that any flight on Southwest Airlines arrives within 15 minutes of the scheduled time is 0.90.
To find the probability that both flights will arrive within 15 minutes of the scheduled time, we can multiply the probabilities of each flight arriving within the specified time frame. Since the two flights are selected randomly and independently, we can assume that the probabilities are multiplied.
Therefore, the probability that both flights will arrive within 15 minutes of the scheduled time is:
0.90×0.90=0.81
Hence, the probability is 0.81 when rounded to two decimal places.
