6. Four airplanes from different airlines have crashed

in the past two weeks. This terrifies Megan, who
must travel on a plane. Her travel agent claims
that the probability of a plane crash is minuscule.
Who is correct and why?

Answer: The Travel Agent

Explanation:

Every day, the FAA's Air Traffic Organization ( ATO ) provides service to more than 44,000 flights

If you want to know how many that is in a week multiply by 7.

44,000 Flights x 7 Days = 308,000 flights a week.

There is a very low probability that Megan's flight will crash.
