Because all airline passengers do not show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that holds only

120 passengers. The probability that a passenger does not show up is 0.10, and the passengers behave independently. a. What is the probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight? b. What is the probability that the flight departs with empty seats?

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

Which of the following are possible values of r?<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%7Br%7D%5E%7B2%20%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cf
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}    and    r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

when you solve for r in the given equation, you need to apply the square root property, which gives positive and negative answers (both should therefore be considered):

r^2=\frac{3}{16} \\r=+/-\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}} \\r=+/-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}

then you need to include these two possible solutions:

r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}    and    r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}

It’s possible to build a triangle with side lengths of 5,5, and 10
nikitadnepr [17]
No.  The two lengths 5 and 5 add up to 10; you'd have two sides of length 5 each placed end to end, equaling 10.  That'd be represented by segments on a straight line, not a triangle.

Hope you've drawn a picture, so as to understand this better.  ;)

What is the measure of cº?<br> A. 7.5°<br> B. 15<br> C. 30°<br> D. 45
mylen [45]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180º

3x + 5x + 4x = 180

Combine like terms

12x = 180

Divide both sides by 12

x = 15

C = 5x

C = 5 * 15

C = 75º
