Answer:

(a) The probability of overbooking is 0.2135.

(b) The probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the number of passengers showing up for the flight.

It is provided that a small regional carrier accepted 19 reservations for a particular flight with 17 seats.

Of the 17 seats, 14 reservations went to regular customers who will arrive for the flight.

Number of reservations = 19

Regular customers = 14

Seats available = 17 - 14 = 3

Remaining reservations, n = 19 - 14 = 5

P (A remaining passenger will arrive), <em>p</em> = 0.52

The random variable <em>X</em> thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 5 and <em>p</em> = 0.52.

(1)

Compute the probability of overbooking  as follows:

P (Overbooking occurs) = P(More than 3 shows up for the flight)

                                        =P(X>3)\\\\={5\choose 4}(0.52)^{4}(1-0.52)^{5-4}+{5\choose 5}(0.52)^{5}(1-0.52)^{5-5}\\\\=0.175478784+0.0380204032\\\\=0.2134991872\\\\\approx 0.2135

Thus, the probability of overbooking is 0.2135.

(2)

Compute the probability that the flight has empty seats as follows:

P (The flight has empty seats) = P (Less than 3 shows up for the flight)

=P(X

Thus, the probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.

Step-by-step explanation:

confidence interval is defined that range of interval that defined degree of certainty and uncertainty for a given sampling method.

it is a probability of given sample which state that particulars parameters are lie between two set of limits.

examples - 95 % confidence interval states that there are 95% probability that given sample contain true value.

Eunice lives in indiana, which has a sales tax of 7%. She just bought a couch whose full price was $1200 but she got 20% off bc
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Total amount paid by Eunice=$1,044

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine full price of couch

Full price of couch=$1200

Step 2: Determine tax

Tax=tax rate×full price

where;

tax rate=7%

full price=$1200

replacing;

Tax=(7/100)×1,200=$84

Tax=$84

Step 3: Calculate the sale price

Sale price=Full price-20% discount

where;

Full price=$1,200

discount=(20/100)×1,200=$240

replacing;

Sale price=(1,200-240)=960

Sale price=$960

Step 4: Total amount paid by Eunice

Total amount paid by Eunice=Sale price+tax

where;

Sale price=$960

tax=$84

replacing;

Total amount paid by Eunice=(960+84)=$1,044

Total amount paid by Eunice=$1,044

Solve for x:
pentagon [3]

Answer:

2<x<3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-4<8 AND 9x+5>23

Solve the first inequality

4x-4<8

Add 4 to each side

4x-4+4 <8+4

4x<12

Divide by 4

4x/4 <12/4

x <3

Solve the second inequality

9x+5>23

Subtract 5 from each side

9x+5-5>23-5

9x >18

Divide by 9

9x/9>18/9

x>2

Put together

x<3 and x>2

2<x<3
