g On a certain daily flight, Air Northeast has a policy of booking as many as 22 people on an airplane that can seat only 19. Pa

st studies have revealed that only 89% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the flight. If the airline books 22 people on a flight, find the probability that there will not be enough seats available for all booked passengers. Show sufficient work to justify answer

Answer:

55.82% probability that there will not be enough seats available for all booked passengers.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each booked passenger, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they arrive for the flight, or they do not arrive. The probability of a booked passenger arriving is independent of other booked passengers. So we used the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The airline books 22 people on a flight

This means that n = 22

Past studies have revealed that only 89% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the flight.

This means that p = 0.89

Find the probability that there will not be enough seats available for all booked passengers.

The airplane seats 19, so this is the probability of more than 19 passengers arriving.

P(X > 19) = P(X = 20) + P(X = 21) + P(X = 22)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 20) = C_{22,20}.(0.89)^{20}.(0.11)^{2} = 0.2718

P(X = 21) = C_{22,21}.(0.89)^{21}.(0.11)^{1} = 0.2094

P(X = 22) = C_{22,22}.(0.89)^{22}.(0.11)^{0} = 0.0770

P(X > 19) = P(X = 20) + P(X = 21) + P(X = 22) = 0.2718 + 0.2094 + 0.0770 = 0.5582

55.82% probability that there will not be enough seats available for all booked passengers.

Abc similar to def the area of abc is 45cm and the area of triangle def is 20cm one side of triangle abc is 3.6cm the the length
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

2.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

that means two lengths of the triangle have to be multiplied.

and to have 2 similar triangles means that all lengths inside one triangle are the corresponding lengths inside the other triangle multiplied by the scaling factor f.

multiplying 2 if these lengths with each other means also including the square of the scaling factor (multiplying with the scaling factor twice).

so, if the area of triangle 1 is

"baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2 = 45 cm²

then the area of triangle 2 is

"baseline 2" × "height 2" / 2 =

= "baseline 1"×f × "height 1"×f /2 =

= "baseline 1" × "height 1" × f² / 2 =

= ("baseline 1" × "height 1" / 2) × f² =

= 45 × f² = 20 cm²

f² = 20/45 = 4/9

f = 2/3

so, for a side of ABC being 3.6cm long, that means the corresponding side in DEF is

3.6 × f = 3.6 × 2/3 = 7.2/3 = 2.4cm
