Answer:
- The probability that overbooking occurs means that all 8 non-regular customers arrived for the flight. Each of them has a 56% probability of arriving and they arrive independently so we get that
P(8 arrive) = (0.56)^8 = 0.00967
- Let's do part c before part b. For this, we want an exact booking, which means that exactly 7 of the 8 non-regular customers arrive for the flight. Suppose we align these 8 people in a row. Take the scenario that the 1st person didn't arrive and the remaining 7 did. That odds of that happening would be (1-.56)*(.56)^7.
Now take the scenario that the second person didn't arrive and the remaining 7 did. The odds would be
(0.56)(1-0.56)(0.56)^6 = (1-.56)*(.56)^7. You can run through every scenario that way and see that each time the odds are the same. There are a total of 8 different scenarios since we can choose 1 person (the non-arriver) from 8 people in eight different ways (combination).
So the overall probability of an exact booking would be [(1-.56)*(.56)^7] * 8 = 0.06079
- The probability that the flight has one or more empty seats is the same as the probability that the flight is NOT exactly booked NOR is it overbooked. Formally,
P(at least 1 empty seat) = 1 - P(-1 or 0 empty seats)
= 1 - P(overbooked) - P(exactly booked)
= 1 - 0.00967 - 0.06079
= 0.9295.
Note that, the chance of being both overbooked and exactly booked is zero, so we don't have to worry about that.
Hope that helps!
Have a great day :P

Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the smaller circles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their diameters. The two smallest circles have diameters equal to 1/4 the diameter of the largest circle. Hence their areas are (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of that of the largest circle.
Similarly, the medium circle has a diameter half that of the largest circle, so its area is (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of the are of the largest circle.
The smaller circles subtract 2×1/16 +1/4 = 3/8 of the area of the largest circle. Then the shading is 1-3/8 = 5/8 of the area of the largest circle.
I think the Answer is 76 in^2
Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:
1. A quadratic equation has the following form: ax²+bx+c.
2. The leading coefficient is the number that is attached to the variable with the highest exponent. Then, the "a" is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation.
3. The problem says that the leading coefficient is 1 (a=1) and the roots of the quadratic equation are 5 and -3. Then, you have:
(x-5)(x+3)=0
4. When you apply the distributive property, you obtain:
x²+3x-5x-15=0
x²-2x-15=0
5. Therefore, the answer is:
x²-2x-15=0
