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.

The smiths previously lived in a house that had 1450 sq ft of space. The sq ft of their new home is 3800 sq ft. What is the perc
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

162.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Size of previous living space = 1450 sq ft

Size of new living space = 3800 sq ft

% increase in living space ;

Increase in living space = 3800 - 1450 = 2350 sq feet

(Increase / previous size) * 100%

(2350 / 1450) * 100%

1.6206 * 100%

= 162.06%

= 162.1%

What's greater 5/6 or7/9
Vesna [10]

Answer:

5/6 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

First obtain a common denominator for the fractions. Multiply the denominator of one fraction to the denominator of another and that is the denominator for the new fractions (54). Then multiply the denominator of one fraction to the numerator of the other one to obtain the new numerator. (e.g. 5*9=45 so 5/6 ->45/54) do this to the other fraction and you will see that 7/9 -> 42/54 and 45/54 is greater than 42/54 so 5/6 is greater .

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Rs. 4266.67(approx) will be paid for gazing 20 cows for 8 weeks.

Explanation:

A shepherd is paid rs. 2400 for gazing 18 cows for 5 weeks .

⇒ Number of money paid for gazing 1 cow for 1 week is, \frac{2400}{18\times 5} =\frac{400}{15}= \frac{80}{3}

then,

for gazing 20 cows for 8 weeks is=  Rs. \frac{80}{3}\times (20\times 8)

Therefore, the amount paid for gazing 20 cows for 8 weeks is, \frac{80 \times 160}{3} = \frac{12800}{3} = Rs. 4266.66667 or Rs. 4266.67(approx)
