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.

Which is an equation of a circle with center (-10, 6) and radius 8?
kupik [55]
An equation of a circle:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

(a; b) - a coordinates of a center
r - a radius

r = 8; (-10; 6) ⇒ a = -10 and b = 6

subtitute

(x - (-10))² + (y - 6)² = 8²

Answer: (x + 10)² + (y - 6)² = 64

Kruka [31]

Answer:

  y = -2.8x +69.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2-point form of the equation of a line can be used to find the equation of the line through points (3, 61) and (13, 33). The general form of it is ...

   y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)·(x -x1) +y1

For the given points, this is ...

  y = (33 -61)/(13 -3)·(x -3) +61

  y = -28/10(x -3) +61

  y = -2.8x +69.4 . . . . . the equation of the line through the given points

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

A "line of best fit" is one that minimizes some measure of deviation from the line. Usually, what is minimized is the square of the deviations. Choosing two points to draw the line through may be convenient, but does not necessarily result in a line of best fit.
