Can someone explain how to solve

A small regional carrier accepted 23 reservations for a particular flight with 20 seats. 14 reservations went to regular custome

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

- The probability that overbooking occurs means that all 8 non-regular customers arrived for the flight. Each of them has a 56% probability of arriving and they arrive independently so we get that

P(8 arrive) = (0.56)^8 = 0.00967

- Let's do part c before part b. For this, we want an exact booking, which means that exactly 7 of the 8 non-regular customers arrive for the flight. Suppose we align these 8 people in a row. Take the scenario that the 1st person didn't arrive and the remaining 7 did. That odds of that happening would be (1-.56)*(.56)^7.

Now take the scenario that the second person didn't arrive and the remaining 7 did. The odds would be

(0.56)(1-0.56)(0.56)^6 = (1-.56)*(.56)^7. You can run through every scenario that way and see that each time the odds are the same. There are a total of 8 different scenarios since we can choose 1 person (the non-arriver) from 8 people in eight different ways (combination).

So the overall probability of an exact booking would be [(1-.56)*(.56)^7] * 8 = 0.06079

- The probability that the flight has one or more empty seats is the same as the probability that the flight is NOT exactly booked NOR is it overbooked. Formally,

P(at least 1 empty seat) = 1 - P(-1 or 0 empty seats)

= 1 - P(overbooked) - P(exactly booked)

= 1 - 0.00967 - 0.06079

= 0.9295.

Note that, the chance of being both overbooked and exactly booked is zero, so we don't have to worry about that.

Hope that helps!

Have a great day :P

It takes 1 yard 2 feet of material to make a pillow. How much material is required to make 8 pillows?

Monica [59]

40 feet or 13 yards and 1 foot

using the conversion

1 yard = 3 feet then 1 yard 2 feet = 5 feet ← material for 1 pillow, hence

8 pillows require 8 × 5 = 40 feet

Consider a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 + 4x – 6y – 36 = 0. Which statements are true? Check all that apply. To begin conver

umka21 [38]

Answer:

1) False, to begin converting the equation to standard form, each side must be added by 36. 2) True, to complete the square for the x terms, add 4 to both sides, 3) True, the center of the circle is at (-2, 3), 4) False, the center of the circle is at (-2, 3), 5) False, the radius of the circle is 7 units, 6) False, the radius of the circle is 7 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let prove the validity of each choice:

1) To begin converting the equation to standard form, subtract 36 from both sides:

Let consider the following formula and perform the following algebraic operations:

(i) $x^{2} + y^{2} + 4\cdot x - 6\cdot y - 36 = 0$ Given

(ii) $x^{2} + 4\cdot x + y^{2} - 6\cdot y - 36 = 0$ Commutative Property

(iii) $(x^{2} + 4\cdot x + 4) - 4 + (y^{2} - 6\cdot y + 9) - 9 -36 = 0$ Modulative/Associative Property/Additive Inverse Existence

(iv) $(x+ 2)^{2} - 4 + (y - 3)^{2} - 9 - 36 = 0$ Perfect Trinomial Square

(v) $(x+2)^{2} +(y-3)^{2} = 4 + 9 + 36$ Commutative Property/Compatibility with Addition/Additive Inverse Existence/Modulative Property

(vi) $(x+2)^{2} + (y-3)^{2} = 49$ Definition of Addition/Result

False, to begin converting the equation to standard form, each side must be added by 36.

2) True, step (iii) on exercise 1) indicates that both side must be added by 4.

3) The general equation for a circle centered at (h, k) is of the form:

$(x-h)^{2}+ (y-k)^{2} = r^{2}$

Where $r$ is the radius of the circle.

By direct comparison, it is evident that circle is centered at (-2,3).

True, step (vi) on exercise 1) indicates that center of the circle is at (-2, 3).

4) False, step (vi) on exercise 1) indicates that the center of the circle is at (-2, 3), not in (4, -6).

5) After comparing both formulas, it is evident that radius of the circle is 7 units.

False, the radius of the circle is 7 units.

6) After comparing both formulas, it is evident that radius of the circle is 7 units.

False, the radius of the circle is 7 units.
