Answer:

The probability that the restaurant can accommodate all the customers who do show up is 0.3564.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided are:

  • At 7:00 pm the restaurant can seat 50 parties, but takes reservations for 53.
  • If the probability of a party not showing up is 0.04.
  • Assuming independence.

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of parties that showed up.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 53 and <em>p</em> = 0.96.

As there are only 50 sets available, the restaurant can accommodate all the customers who do show up if and only if 50 or less customers showed up.

Compute the probability that the restaurant can accommodate all the customers who do show up as follows:

P(X\leq 50)=1-P(X>50)\\=1-P(X=51)-P(X=52)-P(X=53)\\=1-[{53\choose 51}(0.96)^{51}(0.04)^{53-51}]-[{53\choose 52}(0.96)^{52}(0.04)^{53-52}]\\-[{53\choose 53}(0.96)^{53}(0.04)^{53-53}]\\=1-0.27492-0.25377-0.11491\\=0.3564

Thus, the probability that the restaurant can accommodate all the customers who do show up is 0.3564.

What is the total surface area of the figure shown?
4vir4ik [10]

Given:

Composite figure.

The figure splitted into two shapes.

One is vertical cuboid and other is horizontal cuboid

To find:

Total surface area of the figure

Solution:

<u>Vertical cuboid:</u>

Length = 14 inches

Width = 12 inches

Height = 24 inches

Surface area = 2(lw + wh + lh)

                     = 2(14 × 12 + 12 × 24 + 14 × 24)

                     = 2(168 + 288 + 336)

Surface area = 1584 square inches

<u>Horizontal cuboid:</u>

Length = 14 inches

Width = 10 inches

Height = 30 - 12 = 18 inches

Surface area = 2(lw + wh + lh)

                     = 2(14 × 10 + 10 × 18 + 14 × 18)

                     = 2(140 + 180 + 252)

Surface area = 1144 square inches

Total surface area = 1584 + 1144

                              = 2728 square inches

The total surface area of the figure is 2728 square inches.

Anika [276]

Answer:

480.53 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(35) = 1000/hypotenuse1    - multiply by h (hypotenuse)

(h1)cos(35) = 1000        - divide by cos(35)

h1 = 1000 / cos(35)

h1 = 1220.7746

Same thing with the angle of depression of 54 degrees.

h2 = 1000 / cos(54)

h2 = 1701.3016

h2 - h1 = 480.53
