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:

Since we have given that

Probability that does not show up = 0.10

Probability that show up = 0.90

Here, we use "Binomial distribution":

n = 125 and p = 0.90

Number of passengers that hold in a flight = 120

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

P(X\leq 120)=\sum_{x=0}^{120}^{125}C_x(0.90)^x(0.10)^{125-x}=0.9961

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

P(X\leq 119)=\sum _{x=0}^{119}^{125}C_x(0.90)^x)(0.10)^{125-x}=0.9886

Hence, a) 0.9961, b) 0.9886

Answer:

x=\frac{50}{7} =7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5}{7} =\frac{x}{10}

Cross multiply the proportion:

5*10=x*7

Solve for x:

7x=50\\ x=\frac{50}{7}

Construct a frequency distribution and a frequency histogram for the data set using the indicated number of classes. Describe an
elena-s [515]

Answer and Explanation:

Number of classes = 8

    Highest value =2300

  Lowest value = 1250

Class width= highest value – lowest value / number of classes

               = 2300 – 1250/8

                = 131.25 = 132

So, we can write class as 1250+132=1382

Class                                        frequency

1250-1382                                 2

1382-1514                                 3

1514-1646                                 6

1646-1778                                 2

1778-1910                                 3

1910-2042                                 2

2042-2174                                 1

2174-2306                                 1

Given the function f(x)=3x+5a / x^2-a^2 find the value of a for which f'(12) = 0
maria [59]
The function, as presented here, is ambiguous in terms of what's being deivded by what.  For the sake of example, I will assume that you meant

           3x+5a
<span> f(x)= ------------
</span>          x^2-a^2

You are saying that the derivative of this function is 0 when x=12.  Let's differentiate f(x) with respect to x and then let x = 12:

             (x^2-a^2)(3) -(3x+5a)(2x)
f '(x) = ------------------------------------- = 0 when x = 12
                [x^2-a^2]^2

(144-a^2)(3) - (36+5a)(24)
------------------------------------  =  0
               [   ]^2

Simplifying,

(144-a^2) - 8(36+5a) = 0

144 - a^2 - 288 - 40a = 0

This can be rewritten as a quadratic in standard form:

-a^2 - 40a - 144 = 0, or a^2 + 40a + 144 = 0.

Solve for a by completing the square:

a^2 + 40a + 20^2 - 20^2 + 144 = 0
        (a+20)^2    = 400 - 144 = 156

        Then a+20 = sqrt[6(26)] = sqrt[6(2)(13)] = 4(3)(13)= 2sqrt(39)

         Finally, a = -20 plus or minus 2sqrt(39)

You must check both answers by subst. into the original equation.  Only if the result(s) is(are) true is your solution (value of a) correct.
