A small regional carrier accepted 23 reservations for a particular flight with 19 seats. 18 reservations went to regular custome

rs who will arrive for the flight. Each of the remaining passengers will arrive for the flight with a 50% chance, independently of each other.(Report answers accurate to 4 decimal places.)Find the probability that overbooking occurs. Find the probability that the flight has empty seats.

We remove the 18 regular customers and their seats from consideration.

Thus, we consider the 23 - 18 remaining customers = 5; and 19 - 18 = 1 seat.

Overbooking means 3 or more of the 5 remaining passengers; each has a 50% chance remaining.

Overbooking = 1 - P(X ≤ 2) = 0.5

Probability of empty seats = P(X ≤ 1) = 0.1875

I would probably distribute 15 with the parentheses 15x 9860 which is 147,900 then you would add 6997+147,900
Y= 154187

Suppose that 15% of the fields in a given agricultural area are infested with the sweet potato whitefly. One hundred fields in t
hram777 [196]

Answer:

a.\mu=15

b.\mu=7.8586 \ and  \ \mu=22.1414

c. Choice A- Based on limits above, it is unlikely that we would see x = 45, so it might be possible that the trials are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.Binomial distribution is defined by the expression

P(X=k)=C_k^n.p^k.(1-p)^{n-k}

Let n be the number of trials,n=100

and p be the probability of success,p=15\%

The mean of a binomial distribution is the probability x sample size.

\mu=np=100\times0.15=15

b.Limits within which p is approximately 95%

sd of a binomial distribution is given as:\sigma=\sqrt npq\\q=1-p

Therefore, \sigma=\sqrt(100\times0.015\times0.85)=3.5707

Use the empirical rule to find the limits. From the rule, approximately 95% of the observations are within to standard deviations from mean.

sd_1=>\mu-2\sigma=15-2\times3.3507=7.8586\\sd_2=>\mu-2\sigma=15+2\times3.3507=22.1414

Hence, approximately 95% of the observations are within 7.8586 and 22.1414 (areas of infestation).

c.  x=45 is not within the limits in b above (7.8586,22.1414). X=45 appears to be a large area of infestation. A.Based on limits above, it is unlikely that we would see x = 45, so it might be possible that the trials are not independent.
