The problem of matching aircraft to passenger demand on each flight leg is called the flight assignment problem in the airline i

ndustry. Suppose the demand for the 6 p.m. flight from Toledo Express Airport to Chicago's O'Hare Airport on Cheapfare Airlines is normally distributed with a mean of 132 passengers and a standard deviation of 42. Round probabilities in parts (a) through (c) to four decimal places.
a) Suppose a Boeing 757 with a capacity of 183 passengers is assigned to this flight. What is the probability that the demand will exceed the capacity of this airplane?

b) What is the probability that the demand for this flight will be at least 80 passengers but no more than 200 passengers?

c) What is the probability that the demand for this flight will be less than 100 passengers?

Round answers in parts (d) and (e) to the nearest whole number.

d) If Cheapfare Airlines wants to limit the probability that this flight is overbooked to 3%, how much capacity should the airplane that is used for this flight have? passengers

e) What is the 79th percentile of this distribution?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the demand for the 6 p.m. flight from Toledo Express Airport to Chicago's O'Hare Airport on Cheapfare Airlines is normally distributed with a mean of 132 passengers and a standard deviation of 42

Let X be the no of passengers who report

X is N(132, 42)

Or Z is \frac{x-132}{42}

a) Suppose a Boeing 757 with a capacity of 183 passengers is assigned to this flight.

the probability that the demand will exceed the capacity of this airplane

=P(X>183) = P(Z>1.21) =

=0.5-0.3869\\=0.1131

b)  the probability that the demand for this flight will be at least 80 passengers but no more than 200 passengers

=P(80\leq x\leq 200)\\= P(-1.23\leq z\leq 1.62)\\

=0.4474+0.3907

=0.8381

c) the probability that the demand for this flight will be less than 100 passengers

=P(x

d) If Cheapfare Airlines wants to limit the probability that this flight is overbooked to 3%, how much capacity should the airplane that is used for this flight have? passengers

=P(Z>c)=0.03\\c=1.88\\X=132+1.88(42)\\=210.96

e) 79th percentile of this distribution

=132+0.81(42)\\= 166.02

What is the smallest integer $n$, greater than $1$, such that $n^{-1}\pmod{130}$ and $n^{-1}\pmod{231}$ are both defined?
olasank [31]

First of all, the modular inverse of n modulo k can only exist if GCD(n, k) = 1.

We have

130 = 2 • 5 • 13

231 = 3 • 7 • 11

so n must be free of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, which are the first six primes. It follows that n = 17 must the least integer that satisfies the conditions.

To verify the claim, we try to solve the system of congruences

\begin{cases} 17x \equiv 1 \pmod{130} \\ 17y \equiv 1 \pmod{231} \end{cases}

Use the Euclidean algorithm to express 1 as a linear combination of 130 and 17:

130 = 7 • 17 + 11

17 = 1 • 11 + 6

11 = 1 • 6 + 5

6 = 1 • 5 + 1

⇒   1 = 23 • 17 - 3 • 130

Then

23 • 17 - 3 • 130 ≡ 23 • 17 ≡ 1 (mod 130)

so that x = 23.

Repeat for 231 and 17:

231 = 13 • 17 + 10

17 = 1 • 10 + 7

10 = 1 • 7 + 3

7 = 2 • 3 + 1

⇒   1 = 68 • 17 - 5 • 231

Then

68 • 17 - 5 • 231 ≡ = 68 • 17 ≡ 1 (mod 231)

so that y = 68.

Csc^2x-cot^2x=1

Here is why

csc^2x=1+cot^2x

so:
1+cot^2x-cot^2x=1

What are the zeros of the function f (x) = (x-6)(2x+10)
bazaltina [42]

Let f(x)=0.

(x-6)(2x+10)=0

Using the zero-factor property, equate each factor to 0 and then solve for x.

\begin{gathered} x-6=0 \\ x=6 \\  \\ 2x+10=0 \\ 2x=-10 \\ x=-\frac{10}{2} \\ x=-5 \end{gathered}

Thus, the zeros of the given function are 6 and -5.

The zeros are the x-coordinate where the graph touches the x-axis.

Thus, the x-coordinates of where the graph touches the x-axis are -5, and 6.

$5.50 plus sales tax after tax the price was $5.86 what’s the tax rate
miv72 [106K]

Answer: 6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

$5.86 -$5.50

=$0.36

We then divide $0.36 by 5.50 =0.065

Multiply by 100 to convert decimal to percentage= 0.065×100

=6.5%
