Bluesky air has the best on-time arrival rate with 80% of its flights arriving on time. a test is conducted by randomly selectin

g 16 bluesky air flights and observing whether they arrive on time. what is the probability that 2 flights of bluesky air arrive late? (please carry answers to at least six decimal places in intermediate steps. give your final answer to the nearest three decimal places).

I would use binomial distribution to answer this, since a flight being late is an independent event.
So X ~ B(16, 0.2)
The above line states that the probability of X relates to the binomial distribution with 16 trials (the 16 flights) and a 20% (0.2) chance of "success" (in this case the "success" is beimg late, which is weird because being late is not a very good thing, but the question is about being late so allow it)
So the probability of 2 flights arriving late is P(X=2) = 16C2 × 0.2^2 × 0.8^14
(The formula is basically, trialsCsuccesses × (chance of success)^(number of successes) × (chance of failure)^(total trials - successes)

The calculation will give you a probability of 0.211. And that is it :)

A California distributor of sporting equipment expects to sell 10,000 cases of tennis balls during the coming year at a steady r

Economic Order Quantity

The economic order quantity, that is, the order quantity that minimizes the inventory cost is:

300 cases of tennis balls

Data and Calculations:

Sales of tennis balls for the coming year = 10,000 units

Carrying (holding) costs per case = $10

Cost of placing orders with the manufacturer = $45 per order

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) = square root of (2 * Annual Demand/Sales * Ordering cost)/Carrying cost per case

= square root of (2 * 10,000 * $45)/$10

= square root of 90,000

= 300 tennis balls

This implies that the distributor will place about 33 orders in the coming year.  With each order, the quantity placed is 300 units.  This is the economic order quantity that will minimize its inventory cost for the year.

10-2 = 8

He can spend $8

$8/$10 = 0.80

0.80 x 100 = 80 %

He can spend 80%

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which statement about f(x) = 66x4 – 2x3 + 11x2 + 35 is true? Any rational root of f(x) i
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The correct option is Any rational root of f(x) is a factor of 35 divided by a factor of 66....

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the rational root theorem:

if a_{0} and a_{n} are non zero then each rational solution x will be:

x= +/- Factors of a_{0} / Factors of  a_{n}

In the given polynomial we have:

66x4 – 2x3 + 11x2 + 35

a_{0} = 35

a_{n} = 66

Therefore,

x= +/- Factors of 35/ Factors of 66.

Thus the correct option is Any rational root of f(x) is a factor of 35 divided by a factor of 66....
