Answer:

96.33% probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

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)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 105, p = 0.9

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 105*0.9 = 94.5

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{105*0.9*0.1} = 3.07

What is the probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

100 or less people appearing to the flight, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 100. So

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

Z = \frac{100 - 94.5}{3.07}

Z = 1.79

Z = 1.79 has a pvalue of 0.9633

96.33% probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

How is proportional reasoning used to interpret distances on maps?
arsen [322]

Answer:

It shows how a dimension in a scale drawing is related to the actual object. A map is a scale drawing. The measurements on a map are in proportion to the actual distances. If 1 inch on a map equals an actual distance of 2 miles, the scale is 1 inch = 2 miles

hope it helped!
