Answer:

f^-1(x) = 1 -(x/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, solve for y:

x = f(y)

x = -3y +3

x/-3 = y -1 . . . . divide by -3

1 -(x/3) = y . . . . add 1

The inverse function is ...

f^-1(x) = 1 -(x/3)

f^-1(x) = (3-x)/3

Travelers who fail to cancel their hotel reservations when they have no intention of showing up are commonly referred to as no-s

notsponge [240]

Answer:

a) 0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) 0 is the most likely value for X.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each traveler who made a reservation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they show up, or they do not. The probability of a traveler showing up is independent of other travelers. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

No-show rate of 10%.

This means that $p = 0.1$

Four travelers who have made hotel reservations in this study.

This means that $n = 4$

a) What is the probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows?

This is $P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486$

$P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036$

$P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001$

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0486 + 0.0036 + 0.0001 = 0.0523$

0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) What is the most likely value for X?

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{4} = 0.6561$

$P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{3} = 0.2916$

$P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486$

$P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036$

$P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001$

X = 0 has the highest probability, which means that 0 is the most likely value for X.

Can someone please show me how 19169000*e^(0.15)= 222712201 When e= 2.7182818284?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

It doesn't. x = 22 271 201

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to need a calculator no matter how you do it.

$x =19 169 000 \times e^{0.15}$

(a) The direct method

$x = 19 169 000\times 2.718 281 828^{0.15} = 19 169 000 \times 1.161 834 243 = 22 271 201$

(b) The indirect method

$\ln \left (19 169 000\times 2.718 281 828^{0.15} \right ) = \ln(19 169 000) + 0.15 = 16.768 805 + 0.15 = 16.918 804\\\\e^{16.918 804} = 22 271 201$

How do the values in Pascal’s triangle connect to the coefficients?

damaskus [11]

Explanation:

Each row in Pascal's triangle is a listing of the values of nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!) for some fixed n and k in the range 0 to n. nCk is the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time.

If you consider what happens when you multiply out the product (a +b)^n, you can see where the coefficients nCk come from. For example, consider the cube ...

(a +b)^3 = (a +b)(a +b)(a +b)

The highest-degree "a" term will be a^3, the result of multiplying together the first terms of each of the binomials.

The term a^b will have a coefficient that reflects the sum of all the ways you can get a^b by multiplying different combinations of the terms. Here they are ...

(a +_)(a +_)(_ +b) = a·a·b = a^2b
(a +_)(_ +b)(a +_) = a·b·a = a^2b
(_ +b)(a +_)(a +_) = b·a·a = a^2b

Adding these three products together gives 3a^2b, the second term of the expansion.

For this cubic, the third term of the expansion is the sum of the ways you can get ab^2. It is essentially what is shown above, but with "a" and "b" swapped. Hence, there are 3 combinations, and the total is 3ab^2.

Of course, there is only one way to get b^3.

So the expansion of the cube (a+b)^3 is ...

(a +b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b +3ab^2 +b^3 . . . . . with coefficients 1, 3, 3, 1 matching the 4th row of Pascal's triangle.

In short, the values in Pascal's triangle are the values of the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time. The coefficients of a binomial expansion are also the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time. Each term of the expansion of (a+b)^n is of the form (nCk)·a^(n-k)·b^k for k =0 to n.
