An airline has a policy of booking as many as 15 persons on an airplane that can seat only 14. ​(Past studies have revealed that

only 88.0​% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the​ flight.) Find the probability that if the airline books 15 ​persons, not enough seats will be available. Is it unlikely for such an overbooking to​ occur?

Answer: No, it is unlikely for such an overbooking to occur.

Our required probability is 0.146.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of persons on an airplane book = 15

Probability of booked passengers actually arrive for the flight = 88%

We need to find the probability that if the airline books 15 persons, not enough seats will be available.

We will use "Binomial distribution":

Probability would be

P(X=15)=(0.88)^{15}=0.146

No, it is unlikely for such an overbooking to occur.

Hence, our required probability is 0.146.

Find the value of n such that x2-10x+n is a perfect square trinomial.
mihalych1998 [28]
The answer is the last option (Option D), which is:

 D. 25

 The explanation is shown below:

 1. You have that:

 (a ± b)^2=a^2 <span>± 2ab + b^2

 2. The expression given in the problem is:

 </span><span>x^2-10x+n

 Where x^2=a and 2ab=10x

 2b=10
 b=10/2
 b=5

 3. Therefore, you have:

 b^2=5
 b^2=25

 b^2=n
 n=25</span>

Inside a square with side length 10, two congruent equilateral triangles are drawn such that they share one side and each has on
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

5 length

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram attached shows two equilateral triangles ABC & CDE. Since both squares share  one side of the square  BDFH of length 10, then their lengths will be 5 each. To obtain the largest square inscribed inside the original square BDFH, it makes sense to draw two other equilateral triangles AGH & EFG at the upper part of BDFH with length equal to 5.

So, the largest square that can be inscribe in the space outside the two equilateral triangles ABC & CDE and within BDFH is the square ACEG.

Subtract 3x squared +7x-4 from 8x squared-6+2 your answer should be polynomial in standard form
aleksley [76]

Answer:

5x² - 13x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

8x² - 6x + 2 - (3x² +7x -4)

Simplify the expression:

8x² - 6x + 2 - 3x² -7x + 4

Combine like terms:

5x² - 13x + 6
