Answer:

a) 0.9961

b) 0.9886

Step-by-step explanation:

If X is the variable define by people who do not show up to take their flight, and considering that the probability of success (the person shows up) is 0.90, and the probability of fail (the person doesn't show up) is 0.10, the variable X has a binomial distribution.

The binomial distribution formula would be:

×P(X=k) = C_{x|k} 0.1^{k}×0.9^{125-k}

a) What is the probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight?

This happens when X≥5

P( X≥5) = 1 - (P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4)) = 0.9961

a) What is the probability that the flight departs with empty seats?

This happens when X>5

P(X>5) = 1 - P(X≤5) = 1 - (P(X=0) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5)) = 0.9886

IgorC [24]

Answer: 288, 576, 1152

There are 6 red socks and 8 black
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

24/91

Step-by-step explanation:

6 red socks and 8 black = 14 socks

P( red) = red/total = 6/14 = 3/7

Keep the red sock

5 red socks and 8 black = 13 socks

P(black) = black / total = 8/13

P(red, black, keeping the sock) = 3/7 * 8/13 = 24/91

Suppose U= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} is the universal set and P= {1, 2, 3, 4}. What is P?
Digiron [165]
Did you mean P' ? The letter P with a tick mark after it. If so, then start with set U and erase any number you find in set P

We start with 
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
and we erase the following: 1,2,3,4
since those numbers are in set P

P = {1,2,3,4}
P ' = {5, 6, 7, 8}

<span>The set P' is the complement of set P. It is, in a sense, the opposite of set P. It contains everything that P doesn't have.</span>
