To solve this questions, we can turn 2 into a fractions.

2 as a fraction is 2/1 (because 2 divide by 1 is still 2)
We can now use this to get our answer.

1/3 ÷ 2/1
= 1/3 × 1/2 (flip the fraction and then multiply)
= 1/6 (1 x 1 / 3 x 6)

Or 0.16666.. as a decimal

Hotels, like airline, often overbook, counting on the fact that some people with reservations will cancel at the last minute. A

Answer: The required probability is 0.334.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

N = 15 reservations

probability of reservations will not be used = 0.2

probability of reservations will be used = 1-0.2=0.8

Let X be the Binomial variable,that the number of reservations canceled.

We need to find the probability that more than 8 but less than 12 reservations.

So, it becomes,

$P(8$

Hence, the required probability is 0.334.
