Although delays at major airports are now less frequent, it helps to know which airports are likely to throw off your schedule In addition, if your plane is late arriving at a particular airport where you must make a connection, how likely is it that the departure will be late and thus increase your chances of making the connection? The following data show the percentage of late arrivals and departures during August for 13 airports (Business 2.0, February 2002). Excel or Minitab users: The data set is available in the file named Airport. All data sets can be found in your eBook or on your Student CD.
