Answer:

21.74 But if it tells you to round I would round to 21 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

its basically just a ratio of 92 to 20

92/20=4.6

92-20=72% the amount that is lost

so given that the plum is 100 lbs we know that 72% is depleted

(72/92 = .78)X100= 78 lbs depleted

Lastly 100-78 =22 for the remaining weight of the prunes.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

5\frac{22}{25}\ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

4\frac{1}{5}\ hours=\frac{4*5+1}{5}=\frac{21}{5}\ hours

100\%+40\%=140\%=\frac{140}{100}

Let

x ------> new battery life

The equation that represent this situation is

x=\frac{140}{100} (\frac{21}{5})=\frac{2,940}{500}\ hours

convert to mixed number

\frac{2,940}{500}=\frac{2,500}{500}+\frac{440}{500}=5\frac{22}{25}\ hours

A small regional carrier accepted 19 reservations for a particular flight with 17 seats. 14 reservations went to regular custome
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

(a) The probability of overbooking is 0.2135.

(b) The probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the number of passengers showing up for the flight.

It is provided that a small regional carrier accepted 19 reservations for a particular flight with 17 seats.

Of the 17 seats, 14 reservations went to regular customers who will arrive for the flight.

Number of reservations = 19

Regular customers = 14

Seats available = 17 - 14 = 3

Remaining reservations, n = 19 - 14 = 5

P (A remaining passenger will arrive), <em>p</em> = 0.52

The random variable <em>X</em> thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 5 and <em>p</em> = 0.52.

(1)

Compute the probability of overbooking  as follows:

P (Overbooking occurs) = P(More than 3 shows up for the flight)

                                        =P(X>3)\\\\={5\choose 4}(0.52)^{4}(1-0.52)^{5-4}+{5\choose 5}(0.52)^{5}(1-0.52)^{5-5}\\\\=0.175478784+0.0380204032\\\\=0.2134991872\\\\\approx 0.2135

Thus, the probability of overbooking is 0.2135.

(2)

Compute the probability that the flight has empty seats as follows:

P (The flight has empty seats) = P (Less than 3 shows up for the flight)

=P(X

Thus, the probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.
