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.

Which equation, when solved, results in a different value of x than the other three?
kicyunya [14]
I would have to say -7(1/8)x-4/3=20.


The first and the second one both result in
-23 5/7

The last one results in -24 8/21

but the third one is -22 3/8.

So your answer is either the third of the last one. I assumed the third because, it is lower than all others and the first two are closer to 24 than they are to 22. It’s your choice on how to judge it.

Avery received $80 in cash for mowing lawns. She did the following with the $80. Put 20% of the $80 into a bank account. Spent 1
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off, we know that Avery put 20% of the $80 in her bank account. We can figure out how much 20% of 80 is by multiplying 80 by 20% and then subtracting that number from 80. Remember to switch 20% to its decimal form (20% -> .2).

Step 1) 80 x .2 = 16

Step 2) 80 - 16 = 64

Next, we have to figure out how much 1/4 of the remaining $64 would be. We just simply divide 64 by 4 to figure out how much Avery spent.

Step 3) 64 / 4 = 16

Lastly, since we know Avery spent 16 dollars, we can subtract the 16 from 64 to get our final answer.

Step 4) 64 - 16 = 48
