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.

What is the volume of the sphere?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

V = 4/3 pi or approximately 4.187 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3 pi r^3

The radius is 1 ft

V = 4/3 pi (1)^3

V = 4/3 pi

We can approximate pi by 3.14

V = 4/3 (3.14)

V = 4.186666666 ft^3

If f(x) is an exponential function where f(-1.5) 26 and
mariarad [96]

Answer:

f(10) = 1147.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(-1.5) = 26

f(5.5) = 7

Required

f(10)

An exponential function is represented as:

f(x) = ab^x

f(-1.5) = 26 impleies that:

26 = ab^{-1.5} --- (1)

f(5.5) = 7 implies that

7 = ab^{5.5} --- (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

26/7 = ab^{-1.5}/ab^{5.5}

3.71429 = b^{-1.5+5.5}

3.71429 = b^{4}

Take 4th root

b = 1.39

Substitute b = 1.39 in 26 = ab^{-1.5}

26 = a * 1.39^{-1.5}

26 = a * 0.6102

Solve for (a)

a = 26/0.6102

a = 42.61

f(10) is calculated as:

f(10) = ab^{10}

f(10) = 42.61 * 1.39^{10}

f(10) = 1147.25
