Answer:
- The probability that overbooking occurs means that all 8 non-regular customers arrived for the flight. Each of them has a 56% probability of arriving and they arrive independently so we get that
P(8 arrive) = (0.56)^8 = 0.00967
- Let's do part c before part b. For this, we want an exact booking, which means that exactly 7 of the 8 non-regular customers arrive for the flight. Suppose we align these 8 people in a row. Take the scenario that the 1st person didn't arrive and the remaining 7 did. That odds of that happening would be (1-.56)*(.56)^7.
Now take the scenario that the second person didn't arrive and the remaining 7 did. The odds would be
(0.56)(1-0.56)(0.56)^6 = (1-.56)*(.56)^7. You can run through every scenario that way and see that each time the odds are the same. There are a total of 8 different scenarios since we can choose 1 person (the non-arriver) from 8 people in eight different ways (combination).
So the overall probability of an exact booking would be [(1-.56)*(.56)^7] * 8 = 0.06079
- The probability that the flight has one or more empty seats is the same as the probability that the flight is NOT exactly booked NOR is it overbooked. Formally,
P(at least 1 empty seat) = 1 - P(-1 or 0 empty seats)
= 1 - P(overbooked) - P(exactly booked)
= 1 - 0.00967 - 0.06079
= 0.9295.
Note that, the chance of being both overbooked and exactly booked is zero, so we don't have to worry about that.
Hope that helps!
Have a great day :P
Answer:
for this question you need to take the 12p and 700 and add then dived by 2x which then gives you your answer
17 by 2 because 34 divided by 2 is 17
Hello! So, this question is in the form of ax² - bx - c. First thingd first, let's multiply a and c together. c = -8 and a = 5. -8 * 5 is -40. Now, let's find two factors that have a product of 40, but a sum of 18. If you list the factors, you see that 2 and 20 have a product of 40, but 2 - 20 is -18. The factors we will use are -2 and 20.
How to factor it:
For this question, you can use something called a box method and factor it by finding a factor of each column and row. Just make 4 boxes and put 5x² on the top left and -40 on the bottom left box. Put 2x on the top right box and -20x on the bottom left box. Now, factor out for each row and column. The factors should be 5x + 2 for the top part and x - 4 for the side. It should look like (5x + 2)(x - 4). Let's check it. Solve it by using the FOIL method and you get 5x² - 20x + 2x - 8. Combine like terms and you get 5x² - 18x - 8. There. The answer is B: (5x + 2)(x - 4)
Note: The box method may be challenging at first, but it can be really helpful on problems like these.
Step one:
ALWAYS set equation equal to zero, which in this case has already been done for us.
Step two:
Figure out what formula you need to use in order to solve in this case I'd use the Quadratic formula.
a=1
b=9
c=2
Quadratic formula:
Then you would plug in the information.
The solve for what is underneath the square root ONLY.
Since you cannot solve this any further, your final two answers are...
