An airport limousine can accommodate up to four passengers on any one trip. The company will accept a maximum of six reservation

s for a trip, and a passenger must have a reservation. From previous records, 50% of all those making reservations do not appear for the trip. Answer the following questions, assuming independence wherever appropriate. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
independence wherever appropriate. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
(a) If six reservations are made, what is the probability that at least one individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip?
(b) If six reservations are made, what is the expected number of available places when the limousine departs?

Answer:

a) 0.109375 = 0.109 to 3 d.p

b) 1.00 to 3 d.p

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of someone that made a reservation not showing up = 50% = 0.5

Probability of someone that made a reservation showing up = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

a) If six reservations are made, what is the probability that at least one individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip?

For this to happen, 5 or 6 people have to show up since the limousine can accommodate a maximum of 4 people

Let P(X=x) represent x people showing up

probability that at least one individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

P(X = x) can be evaluated using binomial distribution formula

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 6

x = Number of successes required = 5 or 6

p = probability of success = 0.5

q = probability of failure = 0.5

P(X = 5) = ⁶C₅ (0.5)⁵ (0.5)⁶⁻⁵ = 6(0.5)⁶ = 0.09375

P(X = 6) = ⁶C₆ (0.5)⁶ (0.5)⁶⁻⁶ = 1(0.5)⁶ = 0.015625

P(X=5) + P(X=6) = 0.09375 + 0.015625 = 0.109375

b) If six reservations are made, what is the expected number of available places when the limousine departs?

Probability of one person not showing up after reservation of a seat = 0.5

Expected number of people that do not show up = E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

where xᵢ = each independent person,

pᵢ = probability of each independent person not showing up.

E(X) = 6(1×0.5) = 3

If 3 people do not show up, it means 3 people show up and the number of unoccupied seats in a 4-seater limousine = 4 - 3 = 1

So, expected number of unoccupied seats = 1

On a coordinate plane, a curved line with a minimum value of (negative 2.5, negative 12) and a maximum value of (0, negative 3)
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

f(x) > 0 over the interval (-\infty,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If  f(x)  is a continuous function,  and that all the critical points of behavior change are described by the given information, then we can say that the function crossed the x axis to reach a minimum value of -12 at the point x=-2.5, then as x increases it ascends to a maximum value of -3 for x = 0 (which is also its y-axis crossing) and therefore probably a local maximum.

Then the function was above the x axis (larger than zero) from - \infty, until it crossed the x axis (becoming then negative) at the point x = -4. So the function was positive (larger than zero) in such interval.

There is no such type of unique assertion regarding the positive or negative value of the function when one extends the interval from - \infty to -3, since between the  values -4 and -3 the function adopts negative values.

A statistician chooses 27 randomly selected dates, and when examining the occupancy records of a particular motel for those date
Anni [7]

Answer:

Confidence interval variance [21.297 ; 64.493]

Confidence interval standard deviation;

4.615, 8.031

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Variance, s² = 34.34

Standard deviation, s = 5.86

Sample size, n = 27

Degree of freedom, df = 27 - 1 = 26

Using the relation for the confidence interval :

[s²(n - 1) / X²α/2, n-1] ; [s²(n - 1) / X²1-α/2, n-1]

From the chi distribition table :

X²α/2, n-1 = 41.923 ; X²1-α/2, n-1 = 13.844

Hence,

[34.34*26 / 41.923] ; [34.34*26 / 13.844]

[21.297 ; 64.493]

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is :

21.297 < σ² < 64.493

Standard deviation is the square root of variance, hence,

The 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation is :

4.615 < σ < 8.031
