Because not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that holds only 12

Answer:

98.75% probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

Step-by-step explanation:

For each passenger who show up, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they can take the flight, or they do not. The probability of a passenger taking the flight is independent from other passenger. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

However, we are working with a large sample. So i am going to aproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

The probability that a passenger does not show up is 0.10:

This means that the probability of showing up is 1-0.1 = 0.9. So p = 0.9

Because not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets

This means that n = 125

Using the approximation:

\mu = E(X) = np = 125*0.9 = 112.5

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{125*0.9*0.1} = 3.354

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

This is P(X \leq 120), so this is the pvalue of Z when X = 120.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{120 - 112.5}{3.354}

Z = 2.24

Z = 2.24 has a pvalue of 0.9875

98.75% probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

I will give brainliest
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

1) Yes 2)No

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Yes because the two shorter lines combined are longer than the base and so those two lines are able to make a triangle.

2) No because the two lines on top will be equal to base line and so the two shorter lines will not be able to make a third angle because it will be level with the base.

professor190 [17]

Answer: Under the given option, the following is true of algorithms and heuristics for solving real-life problems: <u><em>Heuristics are shortcut strategies. </em></u>

Algorithms are known as step by step plan of action for resolving a issue. It leads to a specific solution, methodically.

whereas;

Heuristics are known as short‐cut, step‐saving reasoning scheme or generalization that bring forth a solution speedily but possibly with an error.

<u><em>Therefore, the correct option is (a)</em></u>

Find the length and width of a rectangle.<br> Perimeter = 50<br> Side A = 3x + 2<br> Side B = x - 5
zmey [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 * (Side A + Side B)

= 2 * (3x + 2 + x - 5)

= 2 * (4x - 3)

= 8x - 6.

We have 8x - 6 = 50, so 8x = 56 and x = 7.

Length of rectangle = 3(7) + 2 = 23.

Width of rectangle = (7) - 5 = 2.
