Sara is a frequent business traveler. For security purposes, 10% of all people boarding airplanes are randomly selected for additional screening just prior to boarding. What is the probability that the first time Sara is selected for screening is on her third flight?
She is passed over on the first 2 flights and screened on the 3rd in this case.Originally Posted by nigelliza1
She has a 10% chance of being screened, hence a 90% chance of being passed over.
Therefore
passed over and passed over and then screened
has what probability of happening ?
