According to an​ airline, flights on a certain route are on time 80​% of the time. Suppose 17 flights are randomly selected and

the number of​ on-time flights is recorded.
Required:
a. Explain why this is a binomial experiment.
b. Find and interpret the probability that exactly 11 flights are on time.
c. Find and interpret the probability that fewer than 11 flights are on time
d. Find and interpret the probability that at least 11 flights are on time.
e. Find and interpret the probability that between 9 and 11 flights, inclusive, are on time.

Answer:

a) Check Explanation

b) Probability that 11 out of the 17 randomly selected flights are on time = P(X = 11) = 0.0680

c) Probability that fewer than 11 out of the 17 randomly selected flights are on time

= P(X < 11) = 0.0377

d) Probability that at least 11 out of the 17 randomly selected flights are on time

= P(X ≥ 11) = 0.9623

e) Probability that between 9 and 11 flights, inclusive, out of the randomly selected 17 are on time = P(9 ≤ X ≤ 11) = 0.1031

Step-by-step explanation:

a) How to know a binomial experiment

1) A binomial experiment is one in which the probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials. (Probability of each flight being on time is 80%)

2) It usually consists of a number of runs/trials with only two possible outcomes, a success or a failure. (It's either the flights are on time or not).

3) The outcome of each trial/run of a binomial experiment is independent of one another.

All true for this experiment.

b) Probability that exactly 11 flights are on time.

Let X be the random variable that represents the number of flights that are on time out of the randomly selected 17.

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 17 randomly selected flights

x = Number of successes required = number of flights required to be on time

p = probability of success = Probability of a flight being on time = 80% = 0.80

q = probability of failure = Probability of a flight NOT being on time = 1 - p = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20

P(X = 11) = ¹⁷C₁₁ (0.80)¹¹ (0.20)¹⁷⁻¹¹ = 0.06803777953 = 0.0680

c) Probability that fewer than 11 flights are on time

This is also computed using binomial formula

It is the probability that the number of flights on time are less than 11

P(X < 11) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0376634429 = 0.0377

d) Probability that at least 11 out of the 17 randomly selected flights are on time

This is the probability of the number of flights on time being 11 or more.

P(X ≥ 11) = P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17)

= 1 - P(X < 11)

= 1 - 0.0376634429

= 0.9623365571 = 0.9623

e) Probability that between 9 and 11 flights, inclusive, are on time = P(9 ≤ X ≤ 11)

This is the probability that exactly 9, 10 or 11 flights are on time.

P(9 ≤ X ≤ 11) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11)

= 0.0083528524 + 0.02672912767 + 0.06803777953

= 0.1031197592 = 0.1031

Hope this Helps!!!

in 2014 the attendance at jefferson schools fall festival was 650 in 2015 the attendance was 575 what was the percent change
Gnoma [55]

There was 11.54% decrease in attendance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attendance in 2014 = Old value = 650

Attendance in 2015 = New value = 575

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 575 - 650 = -75

The negative sign indicates a decrease in attendance.

Decrease percentage = \frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100

Decrease\ percent=\frac{75}{650}*100\\\\Decrease\ percent=\frac{7500}{650}\\\\Decrease\ percent=11.538\%

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

Decrease percent = 11.54%

There was 11.54% decrease in attendance.

Plz help!! A jar contained 6 red marbles, 10 green marbles, and 8 blue marbles. A marble was selected at random, the color was r
Inessa [10]

Answer:

To calculate the relative frequency, first we need to know what exactly is and how to calculate it.

Relative frequency is the ratio between the absolute frequency (how many repetitions have a specific outcome) and the total outcomes. Also, this type of frequency is used to show the representation that some data have over the whole distribution.

So, in this case, we need to just divide 13, which belongs to red marble's results, to 60 which is the total outcomes, as it's presented:

         13redmarble                                                                                                                       Fr = -------------------------

       60 totalmarbles  

Normally, relative frequency is shown as a percentage multiplying this result by 100. Therefore, 22% is the approximate percentage of the relative frequency, which means that 22% is the representation of red marbles outcomes of the whole distribution, or we can say it as a probability: there's 22% of chances when someone extract a marble, it will be red.
