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.

7. The Quotient
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

<h3>The number is 500</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

The quotient of a number divided by five is written as

\frac{x}{5}

the number decreased by 400 is written as

x - 400

Equate the two expressions

We have

\frac{x}{5}  = x - 400

Multiply through by 5

That's

x = 5x - 2000

x - 5x = - 2000

- 4x = - 2000

Divide both sides by - 4

x = 500

Hope this helps you
