Do you mean 3.14 for pi or just 3?

How to solve Help? (14+x)^2= 25^2 +x^2

shusha [124]

(14+x)^2= 25^2 +x^2
14^2 + 28x + x^2 = 25^2 +x^2
28x = 25^2 - 14^2
28x = 625 - 196
28x = 429
x = 15.32

Suppose that an airline overbooks seats on their flights. In particular, it sells 300 tickets for a flight when there are only 2

vladimir1956 [14]

Using the normal approximation to the binomial, it is found that there is a 0.994 = 99.4% probability that we will have enough seats for everyone who shows up.

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.
The binomial distribution is the probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability of a success on each trial. It can be approximated to the normal distribution with $\mu = np, \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$ .

In this problem:

15% do not show up, so 100 - 15 = 85% show up, which means that $p = 0.85$ .
300 tickets are sold, hence $n = 300$ .

The mean and the standard deviation are given by:

$\mu = np = 300(0.85) = 255$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300(0.85)(0.15)} = 6.185$

The probability that we will have enough seats for everyone who shows up is the probability of at most 270 people showing up, which, using continuity correction, is $P(X \leq 270 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 270.5)$ , which is the p-value of Z when X = 270.5.
