Answer:

The number of empty seats each of these three airlines carried on its flight are as follows:

United Continental = 150 empty seats

American = 50 empty seats

Southwest = 70 empty seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf for the complete question.

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

Let U, A and W represents number of empty seats of United Continental, American, and Southwest respectively. Therefore, we have:

U + A + W = 270 ………………………. (1)

Since United Continental had three times as many empty seats as American, this implies that:

U = 3A ………………………………… (2)

Substituting U = 3A into equation (1), we have:

3A +A + W = 270

4A + W = 270

W = 270 - 4A ………………………….. (3)

For the cost, we have:

3,000[((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100)] = $114,990

((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100) = $114,990 / 3,000

((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100) = 38.33

0.447A + 0.146A + 0124W = 38.33

0.593A + 0.124W = 38.33 ………………… (4)

Substituting W = 270 - 4A from equation (3) into (4) and solve for A, we have:

0.593A + 0.124(270 - 4A) = 38.33

0.593A + 33.48 - 0.496A = 38.33

0.593A - 0.496A = 38.33 - 33.48

0.097A = 4.84

A = 4.84 / 0.097

A = 49.8969072164948

Rounding to a whole number, we have:

A = 50

Substituting A = 50 into each of equations (2) and (3), we have:

U = 3 * 50 = 150

W = 270 - (4 * 50) = 70

Therefore, the number of empty seats each of these three airlines carried on its flight are as follows:

United Continental = 150 empty seats

American = 50 empty seats

Southwest = 70 empty seats

Number of cards are unknown.

Number of red cards are unknown in the starting of experiment.

Number of times process done =10

For binomial random variable number of red cards should be known.

Therefore, it is not binomial random variable , since the number of red cards is unknown in the deck of cards in the starting of experiment.
