According to an​ airline, flights on a certain route are on time 80 ​% of the time. suppose 10 flights are randomly selected and

the number of​ on-time flights is recorded. ​(a) explain why this is a binomial experiment. ​(b) find and interpret the probability that exactly 7 flights are on time. ​(c) find and interpret the probability that fewer than 7 flights are on time. ​(d) find and interpret the probability that at least 7 flights are on time. ​(e) find and interpret the probability that between 5 and 7 ​flights, inclusive, are on time.

<span>(a) This is a binomial experiment since there are only two possible results for each data point: a flight is either on time (p = 80% = 0.8) or late (q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2).
​(b) Using the formula:</span><span>
P(r out of n) = (nCr)(p^r)(q^(n-r)), where n = 10 flights, r = the number of flights that arrive on time:
P(7/10) = (10C7)(0.8)^7 (0.2)^(10 - 7) = 0.2013
Therefore, there is a 0.2013 chance that exactly 7 of 10 flights will arrive on time.
​(c) Fewer than 7 flights are on time means that we must add up the probabilities for P(0/10) up to P(6/10).
Following the same formula (this can be done using a summation on a calculator, or using Excel, to make things faster):
P(0/10) + P(1/10) + ... + P(6/10) = 0.1209
This means that there is a 0.1209 chance that less than 7 flights will be on time.
​(d) The probability that at least 7 flights are on time is the exact opposite of part (c), where less than 7 flights are on time. So instead of calculating each formula from scratch, we can simply subtract the answer in part (c) from 1.
1 - 0.1209 = 0.8791.
So there is a 0.8791 chance that at least 7 flights arrive on time.
(e) For this, we must add up P(5/10) + P(6/10) + P(7/10), which gives us
0.0264 + 0.0881 + 0.2013 = 0.3158, so the probability that between 5 to 7 flights arrive on time is 0.3158.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 centimeters. The base is 2 times the height. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
andrezito [222]
C) is the correct answer because since the base is 2 times the height, this means that the base is larger than the height. And when u look at c, and u add up all the sides( 10+10+20+20) you get the perimeter, 60 cm

Answer please for x and y
notsponge [240]
Add the equations together:
12x-12x-11y-5y=40+88
you get
-16y=128
divide y=128/-16
y=-8

then plug-8 for y back into either equation.
12x-11(-8)=88
12x+88=88
12x=0
x=0
