Answer:

$123,456,789 = 1.23456789\times 10^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to find the value of the missing exponent in the below value i.e.

$123,456,789 = 1.23456789\times 10^x$

Let the exponent is x.

Any number can be written in the scientific notation as :

$N=a\times 10^b$

a is a real number

b is any integer

In this case, the decimal is applied before 8 numbers. It means that the value of x is 8.

The sum of a number and two times a smaller number is 98. The bigger number is 22 less than three times the smaller number.

B>a

b=3a-22, b+2a=98, using b from the left in the right: 

3a-22+2a=98 

5a-22=98 

5a=120 

a=24, and since b=3a-22, 

b=50 

So the smaller number is 24 and the larger number is 50.

Answer:

0.0159

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a common practice of airline companies is to sell more tickets for a particular flight than there are seats on the plane, because customers who buy tickets do not always show up for the flight.

Here if X is the no of persons that do not show up, then X is binomial as each trial is independent with p = 0.04 and n =150 (no of tickets sold)

The plane is overbooked if more than 150 show up

i.e. less than 2 do not show up

Hence the probability that the airline overbooked this flight

= $P(X$
