Answer:

the probability that there will be a seat available for every passenger who shows up is 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

if the probability of choosing a passenger that will not show up is 5% , then the probability of choosing a passenger that will show up is 95%.

Denoting event X= x passengers will show up from the total of 52 that purchased the ticket

Then P(X) follows a binomial probability distribution, since each passenger is independent from others. Thus

P(X) = n!/((n-x)!*x!)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= total number of passengers hat purchased the ticket= 52

p= probability of choosing a passenger that will show up

x = number of passengers that will show up

therefore the probability that the number does not exceed the limit of 50 passengers is:

P(X≤50)=  ∑P(X=i)  from i=0 to i=50   =F(50)

where F(x) is the cumulative binomial probability distribution, then from tables:

P(X≤50)= F(50) = 0.74

therefore the probability that there will be a seat available for every passenger who shows up is 0.74

Find lim ?x approaches 0 f(x+?x)-f(x)/?x where f(x) = 4x-3
Whitepunk [10]

If f(x)=4x-3:

\displaystyle\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{(4(x+\Delta x)-3)-(4x-3)}{\Delta x}=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{4\Delta x}{\Delta x}=4

If f(x)=4x^{-3}:

\displaystyle\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{\frac4{(x+\Delta x)^3}-\frac4{x^3}}{\Delta x}=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{\frac{4x^3-4(x+\Delta x)^3}{x^3(x+\Delta x)^3}}{\Delta x}

\displaystyle=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{4x^3-4(x^3+3x^2\Delta x+3x(\Delta x)^2+(\Delta x)^3)}{x^3\Delta x(x+\Delta x)^3}

\displaystyle=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{-12x^2\Delta x-12x(\Delta x)^2-4(\Delta x)^3}{x^3\Delta x(x+\Delta x)^3}=-\frac{12}{x^4}
