Suppose that an airline overbooks seats on their flights. In particular, it sells 300 tickets for a flight when there are only 270 seats available. On average, we expect 15% of those with tickets to not show up. What is the probability that we will have enough seats for everyone who shows up

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal approximation to the binomial, it is found that there is a 0.994 = 99.4% probability that we will have enough seats for everyone who shows up.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X. The binomial distribution is the probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability of a success on each trial. It can be approximated to the normal distribution with [tex]\mu = np, \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex].

In this problem:

15% do not show up, so 100 - 15 = 85% show up, which means that [tex]p = 0.85[/tex].300 tickets are sold, hence [tex]n = 300[/tex].

The mean and the standard deviation are given by:

[tex]\mu = np = 300(0.85) = 255[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300(0.85)(0.15)} = 6.185[/tex]

The probability that we will have enough seats for everyone who shows up is the probability of at most 270 people showing up, which, using continuity correction, is [tex]P(X \leq 270 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 270.5)[/tex], which is the p-value of Z when X = 270.5.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{270.5 - 255}{6.185}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.51[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.51[/tex] has a p-value of 0.994.

0.994 = 99.4% probability that we will have enough seats for everyone who shows up.

The solution to 3(x-8)+4x=8x+4

Answers

Answer: x = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Distribute

3(x-8)+4x=8x+4

3x-24+4x=8x+4

2) Combine like terms

7x - 24 = 8x + 4

3) Move x(subtract 7x from both sides)

-24 = x + 4

4) Subtract 4 from both sides.

-28 = x

Hope it helps :)

The simplified solution of the given expression is x = -28.

Given that, to determine the simplified solution of the expression  3(x-8)+4x=8x+4

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
3(x-8)+4x=8x+4
3x - 24 + 4x - 8x = 4
-x = 4 + 24
-x = 28

Thus, the simplified solution of the given expression is x = -28.

Compute Δy using the function y= 5x^3 as x goes from -2 to 1.
Δy =?

Answers

The value of Δy using the function y= 5x^3 as x goes from -2 to 1 is; Δy = 45

The question requests that Δy be computed according to the function, y = 5x³ as x goes -2 to 1.

Δy = y2 - y1

where:

y1 = 5(-2)³

y1 = -40

and

y2 = 5(1)³

y2 = 5

Therefore,

Δy = y2 - y1

Δy = 5 - (-40)

Δy = 45.

Oliver incorrectly states that the expression tan(3pi/4 + x) can be simplified as -1. Review Oliver’s work. Which statement explains why Oliver is incorrect?



Keyword gibberish:
The expression does not simplify not have a value if simplified to not equivalent to not
tan startfraction 3 pi over 4 endfraction + x

Answers

We want to see where Oliver is making a mistake in his claim.

The correct option is the first one, the simplification on the last step is wrong.

We start with the expression:

[tex]tan( \frac{3*pi}{4} + x)[/tex]

Now, by looking at Olvier's work, we can see that on the last step he writes:

[tex]\frac{-1 + tan(x)}{1 + tan(x)} = -1[/tex]

This is clearly wrong, as the numerator and the denominator are dont simplify to -1 (this only happens if the numerator is -1 times the denominator), so the left side can't be equal to -1, it actually would be simplified to:

[tex]\frac{-1 + tan(x)}{1 + tan(x)} = \frac{-1 +1 - 1 tan(x)}{1 + tan(x)} = \frac{-2 + 1 + tan(x)}{1 + tan(x)} \\\\\frac{-2 + (1 + tan(x))}{1 + tan(x)} = \frac{-2 }{1 + tan(x)} + \frac{ 1 + tan(x)}{1 + tan(x)} = \frac{-2 }{1 + tan(x)} + 1[/tex]

Then the correct option is the first option.

P = (6a³b + 2a³b) + 4ab           add like terms

P = 8a³b +4ab                          Simply

The value of the perimeter and area of the triangle are,

20.52 cm²  and 28.68 cm

What is mean by Triangle?

A triangle is a three sided polygon, which has three vertices and three angles which has the sum 180 degrees.

Now, By Using Pythagoras theorem to find the base of the triangle as;

a² = 6² - 3²

a ² =  27

a = √27

And, b² = 9² - 3²

b² =  72

b = √72

Hence, Base = √27 + √72

= 13.68

So, We get;

Area = 0.5 x 13.68 x 3

Area = 20.52 cm²  

And, The value of perimeter is,

Perimeter = 9 + 6 + 13.68

= 28.68

Thus, The value of the perimeter and area of the triangle are,

20.52 cm²  and 28.68 cm
