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 a disadvantage of overpaying your taxes during the year?
Otrada [13]
The disadvantage of overpaying your taxes during the year is that you cannot use the money or draw interest on it until after you get your tax refund.

If you are overpaying your taxes, the government is holding that extra money for you. At the end of the tax year when you file your taxes, they will give you the extra money back that you overpaid.

However, you don't receive any interest on the extra money that was held.

A cabinet door has a perimeter of 62 inches its area is 228 in.² what are the dimensions of the door
Vlad1618 [11]
P=2(L+W)
A=LW


given
P=62
62=2(L+W)
divide 2
31=L+W
minus W
L=31-W

sub into other one
A=LW
A=(31-W)(W)
228=31W-W^2
times -1
W^2-31W=-228
add 228 both sides
W^2-31W+228=0
factor
what 2 numbers multiply to get 228 and add to get -31
-19 and -12
(W-19)(W-12)=0
set to zero

W-19=0
W=19

W-12=0
W=12

sub back

L=31-W
L=31-12
L=19
or
L=31-19
L=12

the doorway is 12in by 19in

You would have no problem at all if it said "7 cows minus 2 cows", or "7 books minus 2 books". The THINGS just happen to be m's instead of cows or books.
