500 flights land each day at San Jose’s airport. Assume that each flight has a 5% chance of being late, independently of whether

any other flights are late. Using Excel, calculate the probability of the following events. Turn in your spreadsheet. (a) 15 or fewer flights are late. (b) 30 or more flights are late. (c) Exactly 26 flights are late. (d) Between 10 and 20 flights are late. (e) Does our assumption of independence seem reasonable to you? Why or why not?

Answer:

a.0.0199

b.0.1765

c.0.0785

d.0.1268

e.Yes

Explanation:

It is given that X follows a Binomial distribution with (n= 500, p = 0.05)

The probabilities are computed using the EXCEL .

a) The required probability here is:

P(X less of equal to 15)

= binom.dist(15,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.0199

Therefore the probability is 0.0199 .

b) The required probability here is:

P(X greater or equal to 30) = 1 - P(X less or equal to 29)

=1 - binom.dist(29,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.1765

Therefore the probability is 0.1765

c) P(X = 26 )

= binom.dist(26,500,0.05,FALSE)

=0.0785

Therefore the probability is 0.0785

d) The required probability here is computed as:

P(10 less or equal to X less or equal to 20 ) = P(X less or equal to 19) - P(X less or equal to 10)

= binom.dist(19,500,0.05,TRUE) - binom.dist(10,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.1268

Therefore the probability 0.1268

e) Yes . Therefore the probability because that is the assumption used to apply binomial distribution .

Thermodynamics fill in the blanks The swimming pool at the local YMCA holds roughly 749511.5 L (749511.5 kg) of water and is kep

Talja [164]

Answer:

$95.914\ \text{GJ}$

$\$272.78$

Explanation:

m = Mass of water = 749511.5 kg

c = Specific heat of water = 4182 J/kg ⋅°C

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = $80.6-50=30.6^{\circ}\text{F}$

Cost of 1 GJ of energy = $2.844

Heat required is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q=749511.5\times 4182\times 30.6\\\Rightarrow Q=95.914\times 10^9\ \text{J}=95.914\ \text{GJ}$

Amount of heat required to heat the water is $95.914\ \text{GJ}$ .

Cost of heating the water is

$95.914\times 2.844=\$272.78$

Cost of heating the water to the required temperature is $\$272.78$ .

java Write a program that simulates tossing a coin. Prompt the user for how many times to toss the coin. Code a method with no p

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Java.

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner inNum = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number of toss: ");
int num = inNum.nextInt();
for(int i=0; i < num; i++){
System.out.println(toss());
}
}
public static String toss(){
String option[] = {"heads", "tails"};
Random rand = new Random();
return option[rand.nextInt(2)];
}
}

Explanation:

Firstly, we create a function <em>toss()</em> with no parameter but will return a string (Line 14). Within the function body, create an option array with two elements, "heads" and "tails" (Line 15). Next create a Random object (Line 16) and use <em>nextInt()</em> method to get random value either 0 or 1. Please note we need to pass the value of 2 into <em>nextInx() </em>method to ensure the random value generated is either 0 or 1. We use this generate random value as an index of <em>option </em>array and return either "heads" or "tails" as output (Line 17).

In the main program, we create Scanner object and use it to prompt user to input an number for how many times to toss the coin (Line 6 - 7). Next, we use the input num to control how many times a for loop should run (Line 9). In each round of the loop, call the function <em>toss() </em>and print the output to terminal (Line 10).
