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.

find the value of x and y

Answers

Answer:

x = 8, y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both opposite lines are equal in length to each other, these opposite lines are parallel to each other.  The top line is parallel and same length as the bottom line and the left and right lines are also parallel and equal in length.

Based on that, the two left side angles must equal 180 and the right side two angles must equal 180.

(2y + 24) + (3y + 21) = 180

That's the same as 2y + 24 + 3y + 21 = 180

Simplify to 5y + 45 = 180

Subtract 45 from both sides

5y = 135

y = 27

(16x - 26) + (9x + 6) = 180

16x - 26 + 9x + 6 = 180

25x - 20 = 180

25x = 200

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use this key rule: The longest side in a triangle is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.

The angle G is 59 degrees, H is 61 degrees and I is 60 degrees.

The smallest angle is 59 degrees, so the shortest side is the one opposite to that angle, which is side IH.

The largest angle is 61 degrees, so the longest side is the side opposite to that angle, which is side IG.

The side in-between these two is side GH, which is opposite to the 60 degree angle.

Write the point slope form of the equation with the given characteristics:
Slope = 1/2; x intercept = 3

Answers

Answer:

point-slope form: y - 0 = ½(x - 3)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the slope, m = ½, and the x-intercept, (3, 0):

We can substitute these values into the point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = ½(x - 3) ←  This is the point-slope form.

If ever you need to transform the point-slope form into its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:

Distribute ½ into the parenthesis:

y - 0 = ½(x - 3)

y = ½x - 3/2  (this is the slope-intercept form).

The specifications for the dimensions of a new cardboard container are shown. If the volume of the container is modeled by V(h) = 2h^3 - 9h^2 + 4h and it will hold 45 cubic inches of merchandise, what are the containers dimensions?​

Answers

Solving a cubic equation, it is found that the dimensions of the container are of 1 inch, 9 inches and 5 inches.

The volume of the cubic container is given by the following equation:

[tex]V(h) = 2h^3 - 9h^2 + 4h[/tex]

Since it holds 45 cubic inches of merchandise, we have that [tex]V(h) = 45[/tex], then:

[tex]V(h) = 2h^3 - 9h^2 + 4h[/tex]

[tex]45 = 2h^3 - 9h^2 + 4h[/tex]

[tex]2h^3 - 9h^2 + 4h - 45 = 0[/tex]

Using a cubic equation calculator, the real solution is [tex]h = 5[/tex], thus, the dimensions are:

[tex]h = 5[/tex]

[tex]h - 4 = 5 - 4 = 1[/tex]

[tex]2h - 1 = 2(5) - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9[/tex]

The dimensions of the container are of 1 inch, 9 inches and 5 inches.
