a. 0.1864

b. Events D and P are dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

P (D) = 0.29

P (P) = 0.59

P (P and D) = P (P∩D) = 0.11

We have to find

P (D/P) = ?

P (D/P) = P (P∩D) / P (P)

P (D/P) = 0.11/0.59=0.1864

Thus, the probability that an international flight leaving the United States is delayed in departing given that the flight is a transpacific flight is 18.64%

b.

The events D and P are independent if

P (D/P) = P (D)

P (D/P) = 0.1864

P (D) = 0.29

As P (D/P) ≠P (D), so the events D and P are dependent.
