An airline makes 200 reservations for a flight who holds 185 passengers. The probability that a passenger arrives for the flight

is 0.9 and the passengers are assumed to be independent. Use the normal approximation of Binomial distribution to answer the following questions.
a. Approximate the probability that all the passengers who arrives can be seated.
b. Approximate the probability that there are empty seats.
c. Approximate the number of reservations that the airline should make so that the probability that everyone who arrives can be seated is 0.95.

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

given that:

n = sample size = 200, p = probability of a cancelled reservation = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-mean}{standard\ deviation} =\frac{x-np}{\sqrt{np(1-p)} }

a) The probability that all the passengers who arrives can be seated can only occur if atleast 15 or more passengers cancelled their reservations.

P(X ≥ 15) = 1 - P(X ≤ 14.5)

z=\frac{x-np}{\sqrt{np(1-p)} }=\frac{14.5-(200*0.1)}{\sqrt{(200*0.1)(1-0.1)} }=-1.3

From the normal distribution table:

P(X ≥ 15) = 1 - P(X ≤ 14.5) = 1 - P(z < -1.3) = 1 - 0.0968 = 0.9

b) The probability that there are empty seat only occur if atleast 16 or more passengers cancelled their reservations.

P(X ≥ 16) = 1 - P(X ≤ 15.5)

z=\frac{x-np}{\sqrt{np(1-p)} }=\frac{15.5-(200*0.1)}{\sqrt{(200*0.1)(1-0.1)} }=-1.06

From the normal distribution table:

P(X ≥ 16) = 1 - P(X ≤ 15.5) = 1 - P(z < -1.06) = 1 - 0.1446 = 0.8554

c)

0.95=P(X\geq n-185)=1-P(X\leq n-185)\\\\P(X\leq n-185)=1-0.95\\\\P(X\leq n-185)=0.05\\\\0.05=P(Z

For ΔABC, ∠A = 4x - 10, ∠B = 5x + 10, and ∠C = 7x + 20. If ΔABC undergoes a dilation by a scale factor of 1 3 to create ΔA'B'C'
VLD [36.1K]
We know that the angles of a triangle sum to 180°.  For ΔABC, this means we have:
(4x-10)+(5x+10)+(7x+20)=180

Combining like terms,
16x+20=180

Subtracting 20 from both sides:
16x=160

Dividing both sides by 16:
x=10
This means ∠A=4*10-10=40-10=30°; ∠B=5*10+10=50+10=60°; and ∠C=7*10+20=70+20=90.

For ΔA'B'C', we have
(2x+10)+(8x-20)+(10x-10)=180

Combining like terms, 
20x-20=180

Adding 20 to both sides:
20x=200

Dividing both sides by 20:
x=10

This gives us ∠A'=2*10+10=20+10=30°; ∠B'=8*10-20=80-20=60°; and ∠C'=10*10-10=100-10=90°.

Since the angle are all congruent, ΔABC~ΔA'B'C' by AAA.

The profits for a business can be represented as a function p(x)=110+25x for the month of January and q(x)=15x+85 for the month
mrs_skeptik [129]
To find the total profit, add p(x) and q(x):
(110 + 25x) + (15x + 85)
15x + 25x + 110 + 85 --> group like terms
40x + 195 --> add like terms
p(x) + q(x) = 40x + 195 --> This is the function that represents the total profit for January and February

Vitek1552 [10]
The angles with measures 5x + 15 and 115 are corresponding angles.
For lines a and b to be parallel, those angles must be congruent.

5x + 15 = 115

5x = 100

x = 20

Connor wants to solve the equation 4x=26. How could he use graphs to solve this equation?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

  • <u>He should graph the functions f(x) = 4x and g(x) = 26 in the same coordinate plane. The x-coordinate of the intersection point of the two graphs is the solution of the equation.</u>

Explanation:

<em>To solve the equation 4x = 26</em> using graphs, he should graph two functions in the same coordinate plane. The intersection of the two graphs is the solution of the equation.

The functions to graph are f(x) = 4x, and g(x) = 26.

The graph of f(x) = 4x is a line that goes through the origin (0,0) and has slope 4.

Some of the points to graph that line are:

<u>x            f(x) = 4x             </u>

0        4(0) = 0 →    (0,0)

2        4(2) = 8 →    (2,8)

4        4(4) = 16 →   (4,16)

6        4(6) = 24 →  (4, 24)

With those points you can do an excellent graph of f(x) = 4x

The graph of g(x) = 26 is horizontal line (parallel to the y-axis) that passes through the point (0, 26), which is the y -intercept.

You have to extend both graphs until they intersect each other. The x-coordinate of the intersection point is the solution of the function.
