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

If m angle ECD is six less than five times m angle BCE, and mangle BCD = 162º. find each
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let ∠BCE = x then ∠ECD = 5x - 6 and

∠BCE + ∠ECD = ∠BCD, substitute values

x + 5x - 6 = 162, that is

6x - 6 = 162 ( add 6 to both sides )

6x = 168 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 28

Hence

∠BCE = x = 28°

∠ECD = 5x - 6 = (5 × 28) - 6 = 140 - 6 = 134°

This question made me stuck lol.. I really need help
Svetach [21]
(4,5)(2,1)
slope = (1 - 5) / (2 - 4) = -4/-2 = 2

(-2,3)(-4,4)
slope = (4 - 3) / (-4 - (-2) = 1/(-4 + 2) = -1/2

2 and -1/2 are negative reciprocals of each other....therefore, ur lines are perpendicular <==

We have five samples of data: sample A with 30 successes of 50 cases, sample B with 600 successes of 1000 cases, sample C with 3
faust18 [17]

Answer:

C. with 3000 successes of 5000 cases sample

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we need to test if the proportion of success is greater than 0.5.

From the given options, we can see that they all have the same proportion which equals to;

Proportion p = 30/50 = 600/1000 = 0.6

p = 0.6

But we can notice that the number of samples in each case is different.

Test statistic z score can be calculated with the formula below;

z = (p^−po)/√{po(1−po)/n}

Where,

z= Test statistics

n = Sample size

po = Null hypothesized value

p^ = Observed proportion

Since all other variables are the same for all the cases except sample size, from the formula for the test statistics we can see that the higher the value of sample size (n) the higher the test statistics (z) and the highest z gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis. So the option with the highest sample size gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis.

Therefore, option C with sample size 5000 and proportion 0.6 has the highest sample size. Hence, option C gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis
