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

Given that 3+√5/4−√5 = a + b√5, find the values of “a” and “b”<br>URGENT PLZ ANSWER!
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

√(5/4)= √5/ √4 =√5/2 = (1/2)√5

3+√5/4−√5 = 3+(1/2)√5   so : a=3  and  b= 1/2

Solve each Inequality. Write your answer 2.) x + 9 &gt; 16 o​
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

o< 1/16x + 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

x+9>16o

Flip the equation.

16o<x+9

Divide both sides by 16.

16o/16 < x+9/16

o< 1/16x + 9/16
