Answer:
Q1. 13 passengers
Q2. 0.1756 (approx. 0.18)
Step-by-step explanation:
Q1. 267 seats are available on the plane
5% is expected to fail to show up
Hence, no of passengers expected not to show up = 267 * 0.05
= 13.35 (approx 13 passengers)
Q2. See working in the attachment as I had to explain it step by step.
Answer:
Time required to make a pile of 45 sticks next to their fire = 10 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of arithmetic progression.
First term = 5 - 3 + 7 = 9 sticks
Common difference = 7 - 3 = 4 sticks.
So the number of sticks next to their fire is increasing like this
9, 13, 17, 21 .............
term of AP = a + (n-1) d, we need to find n
a + (n-1) d = 45
9 + (n-1) x 4 = 45
(n-1) x 4 = 36
n - 1 = 9
n = 10
Time required to make a pile of 45 sticks next to their fire = 10 minutes
