United flight 15 from New York's JFK to San Francisco uses a Boeing 757-200 with 180 seats. Because some
people with tickets don't show up. United will overbook by selling more than 180 tickets. If the flight is not
overbooked, the airline will lose revenue due to empty seats, but if too many tickets are sold and some
passengers are denied seats, the airline loses money from the compensation that must be given to bumped
passengers. Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the
flight. Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets for the 180 seats that are available.
1. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (i.e. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (ie. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
3. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (i.e. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
Answer:
1. 0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
2. 0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
3. 0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the flight.
This means that [tex]p = 0.905[/tex]
Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets
This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex]
Question 1:
Exactly, so we can use the P(X = x) formula, to find P(X = 180).
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 180) = C_{200,180}.(0.905)^{180}.(0.095)^{20} = 0.0910[/tex]
0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Now we have to use the approximation.
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.905 = 181[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.905*0.095} = 4.15[/tex]
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \leq 180 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 180.5)[/tex], which is the p-value of Z when X = 180.5. Thus
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{180.5 - 181}{4.15}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4522.
0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
3. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Complementary event with at most 180 passengers showing up, which means that the sum of these probabilities is 1. So
[tex]p + 0.4522 = 1[/tex]
[tex]p = 1 - 0.4522 = 0.5478[/tex]
0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.

Answer:
x = 50
y = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}x+y=100\\ 0.12x+0.38y=25\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Round each of the following numbers to four significant figures and express the result in standard exponential notation: (a) 102.53070, (b) 656.980, (c) 0.008543210, (d) 0.000257870, (e) -0.0357202
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Rounding each number to 4 significant figures and expressing in standard notation :
(a) 102.53070,
Since the number starts with a non-zero, the 4 digits are counted from the left ;
102.53070 = 102.5 (4 significant figures) = 1.025 * 10^2
(b) 656.980,
Since the number starts with a non-zero, the 4 digits are counted from the left ; the value after the 4th significant value is greater than 5, it is rounded to 1 and added to the significant figure.
656.980 = 657.0 (4 significant figures) = 6.57 * 10^2
(c) 0.008543210,
Since number starts at 0 ; the first significant figure is the first non - zero digit ;
0.008543210 = 0.008543 (4 significant figures) = 8.543 * 10^-3
(d) 0.000257870,
Since number starts at 0 ; the first significant figure is the first non - zero digit ;
0.000257870 = 0.0002579 (4 significant figures) = 2.579 * 10^-4
(e) -0.0357202,
Since number starts at 0 ; the first significant figure is the first non - zero digit ;
-0.0357202 = - 0.03572 (4 significant figures) = - 3.572* 10^-2

Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
each side of the smaller triangle, we can multiply by 4 to get the side of the larger triangle
ex: 8*4=32 and 17*4=68
so we can assume that 15*4= 4x+12
60=4x+12
48=4x
x=12
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar so we can use ratios
4x+12 32
------- = ------------
15 8
Using cross products
(4x+12) *8 = 15 * 32
(4x+12) *8 = 480
Divide each side by 8
(4x+12) *8/8 = 480/8
4x+12 = 60
Subtract 12 from each side
4x+12 -12 = 60-12
4x = 48
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12
The population, P(t), in millions, of a country, in year t, is given by the formula P(t) = 24 + 0.4t. What are the values of the population for t = 10, 20,
and 30?
Answer:
B. 28, 32, 36 millions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
Where,
P(t) = population in millions
t = number of years
✔️Value of the population when t = 10:
Plug in t = 10 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(10)
P(t) = 24 + 4
P(t) = 28 million
✔️Value of the population when t = 20:
Plug in t = 20 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(20)
P(t) = 24 + 8
P(t) = 32 million
✔️Value of the population when t = 30:
Plug in t = 30 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(30)
P(t) = 24 + 12
P(t) = 36 million
Ethan buys a video game on sale. If the video game usually costs $60, and it was on sale for 20% off, how much did Ethan pay? Round to the nearest whole dollar.
Ethan will pay $31.99 with the discount.
How? This is the answer because:
If 39.99 is 100%, and you are trying to find 20%...
1. you need to set it up as a ratio (of course, you do not need to do this, but it is easier for me to do it this way)
2. the ratio will look like this: 39.99/100% x/20%
3. all we need to do from here is to cross multiply!
4 39.99 x
---------- = ----------
100 20
-price is on the top and percent on the bottom
-you would now do 39.99 times 20
-then divide by 100
5. once you have 20% of 39.99, you need to subtract that answer from the total
6. 39.99 - 7.998 = 31.992 (you need to round to the nearest hundredth)

A farmer has 80 feet of wire mesh to surround a rectangular pen.
A) Express the area A of the pen as a function of x, also draw the figure of A indicating the admissible values of x for this problem.
B) What are the dimensions of the maximum area pen?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A). Let the dimensions of the rectangular pen are,
Length = l
Width = x
Since, farmer has the wire measuring 80 feet to surround the the pen.
Perimeter of the pen = 80 feet
2(l + x) = 80
l + x = 40
l = 40 - x ------(1)
Area of the rectangular pen = Length × width
= lx
By substituting the value of l from equation (1),
Area (A) of the pen will be modeled by the expression,
A = (40 - x)
A = 40x - x²
B). For maximum area of the pen,
Derivative of the area = 0
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(A)=0[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(A)=\frac{d}{dx}(40x-x^2)[/tex]
= 40 - 2x
And (40 - 2x) = 0
x = 20
Therefore, width of the pen = 20 feet
And length of the pen = 40 - 20
= 20 feet
Dimensions of the pen should be 20 feet by 20 feet.

Write the point-slope form of an equation of the line through the points (-2, 6) and (3,-2).
Answer:
[tex]y-6=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x+2)[/tex]
OR
[tex]y+2=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-3)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Point-slope form: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex] where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is a point and [tex]m[/tex] is the slope
1) Determine the slope
[tex]m=\frac{\displaystyle y_2-y_1}{\displaystyle x_2-x_2}[/tex] where two given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]
Plug in the given points (-2, 6) and (3,-2):
[tex]m=\frac{\displaystyle -2-6}{\displaystyle 3-(-2)}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle -8}{\displaystyle 3+2}\\\\m=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of the line is [tex]-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}[/tex]. Plug this into [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]:
[tex]y-y_1=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-x_1)[/tex]
2) Plug in a point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex]
[tex]y-y_1=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-x_1)[/tex]
We're given two points, (-2, 6) and (3,-2), so there are two ways we can write this equation:
[tex]y-6=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-(-2))\\\\y-6=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x+2)[/tex]
OR
[tex]y-(-2)=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-3)\\y+2=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-3)[/tex]

A manager records the repair cost for 14 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $88.34 and standard deviation of $19.22 are subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
Hence the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is [tex](79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Point estimate = sample mean = [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 88.34
sample standard deviation = s = 19.22
sample size = n = 14
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 13
Critical value =[tex]t\alpha /2,[/tex] df = 1.771
Margin of error
[tex]E = t\alpha/2,df \times (\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )\\= 1.771 \times (19.22 / \sqrt 14)[/tex]
Margin of error = E = 9.10
The 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
[tex]\bar x - E < \mu < \bar x + E\\\\88.34 - 9.10 < \mu < 88.34 + 9.10\\\\79.24 < \mu < 97.44\\(79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]
A market surveyor wishes to know how many energy drinks teenagers drink each week. They want to construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean and are assuming that the population standard deviation for the number of energy drinks consumed each week is 1.1. The study found that for a sample of 1027 teenagers the mean number of energy drinks consumed per week is 5.9. Construct the desired confidence interval. Round your answers to one decimal place.
Answer:
The 98% confidence interval for the mean number of energy drinks consumed per week by teenagers is (5.8, 6).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.01 = 0.99[/tex], so Z = 2.327.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
[tex]M = 2.327\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1027}} = 0.1[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.9 - 0.1 = 5.8 drinks per week.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.9 + 0.1 = 6 drinks per week.
The 98% confidence interval for the mean number of energy drinks consumed per week by teenagers is (5.8, 6).

Lost-time accidents occur in a company at a mean rate of 0.8 per day. What is the probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 10 days will be no more than 2
Answer:
0.01375 = 1.375% probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 10 days will be no more than 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the mean during the interval, which means that the Poisson distribution is used.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
Lost-time accidents occur in a company at a mean rate of 0.8 per day.
This means that [tex]\mu = 0.8n[/tex], in which n is the number of days.
10 days:
This means that [tex]n = 10, \mu = 0.8(10) = 8[/tex]
What is the probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 10 days will be no more than 2?
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-8}*8^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.00034[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-8}*8^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.00268[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-8}*8^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.01073[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.00034 + 0.00268 + 0.01073 = 0.01375[/tex]
0.01375 = 1.375% probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 10 days will be no more than 2.

Step-by-step explanation:
A scientist has acid solutions with concentrations of 4% and 15%. He wants to mix some of each solution to get 44 milliliters of solution with a 12% concentration. How many milliliters of each solution does he need to mix together?
Let x and y be the amounts (in mL) of the 4% and 15% solutions, respectively, that the scientist needs to use.
He wants to end up with a 44 mL solution, so
x + y = 44 mL
Each milliliter of 4% solution contains 0.04 mL of acid, while each mL of 15% contains 0.15 mL of acid. The resulting solution should have a concentration of 12%, so that each mL of it contains 0.12 mL of acid. Then the solution will contain
0.04x + 0.15y = 0.12 × (44 mL) = 5.28 mL
of acid.
Solve for x and y. In the first equation, we have y = 44 mL - x, and substituting into the second equation gives
0.04x + 0.15 (44 mL - x) = 5.28 mL
0.04x + 6.6 mL - 0.15x = 5.28 mL
1.32 mL = 0.19x
x ≈ 6.95 mL
==> y ≈ 37.05 mL

Step-by-step explanation:
I think something went wrong with the answer options you provided. and maybe with the problem statement itself.
I see 3 function definitions.
I can tell you what they are and use the provided option phrasing as closely as possible :
h(x) = 0 is a horizontal line (in fact the x-axis)
k(x) = 4x² + 312 is a parabola with the opening upwards
f(x) = x - 1 is a line with positive slope (going from left to right the line goes up)
