Overbooking flights is a common practice of most airlines. A particular airline, believing that 5% of passengers fail to show for flights, overbooks (sells more tickets than there are seats). Suppose that for a particular flight involving a jumbo-jet with 265 seats, the airline sells 278 tickets. Question 1. What is the expected number of ticket holders that will fail to show for the flight

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The expected number of ticket holders that will fail to show for the flight is 13.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each ticket holder, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they fail to show up for the flight, or they do not. Ticket holders are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

5% of passengers fail to show for flights

This means that [tex]p = 0.05[/tex]

278 tickets sold

This means that [tex]n = 278[/tex]

What is the expected number of ticket holders that will fail to show for the flight?

[tex]E(X) = np = 278*0.05 = 13.9[/tex]

The expected number of ticket holders that will fail to show for the flight is 13.9.

Answer:

(-5 1 0 0) and (-3 0 1 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on my memory,  you can use the dot product to find orthogonality meaning

u1 . u2 = 0

In this case, we let u be the arbitrary vector represented by (x y z w)

u . (1 5 3 0) can be expressed as an equation given by:

{(x y z w) | x + 5y + 3z  + 0w= 0}

We solve this equation letting y = s and z = t and x = -5s -3t

Reconstruct this according to their variable will give

(-5 1 0 0)s + (-3 0 1 0)t = 0

So the basis vectors are (-5 1 0 0) and (-3 0 1 0).

Let c1 and c2 be arbitrary constants:

if you solve for c1(-5 1 0 0) + c2(-3 0 1 0) = 0

c1 and c2 should have only trivial solution, which proves its

linear independence and so it forms a basis vector space.

geometry: find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth. How do I do this? screenshot attached

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x \approx 105.3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, remember the right triangle trigonometry ratios (soh-cah-toa).

sinθ= opposite/hypotenuse cosθ= adjacent/hypotenuse tanθ= opposite/adjacent

If we look at the angle given (θ), then we see that 36 is adjacent or next to the 70° angle. x is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle. So, we have to use cosine (adjacent and hypotenuse).

[tex]cos (\theta)=\frac {adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]cos(70)=\frac{36}{x}[/tex]

Cross multiply. (Multiply the first numerator by the second denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator).

[tex]\frac{cos(70)}{1}=\frac{36}{x}[/tex]

[tex]cos(70)*x= 36[/tex]

Since we want to solve for x, we must isolate the variable. Divide both sides by the cosine of 70.

[tex]\frac{cos(70)*x}{cos(70)}=\frac{ 36}{cos(70)}\\x= 105.2569584[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth. The 5 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 2 to a 3.

[tex]x \approx 105.3[/tex]

Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth.
(If there is more than one answer or )

Answers

Answer:

The ball height is 11 meters at t = 0.59 seconds and t = 3.41 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

The height of the ball after t seconds is given by:

[tex]h(t) = 1 + 20t - 5t^2[/tex]

Find all values of t for which the ball's height is 11 meters.

This is t for which [tex]h(t) = 11[/tex]. So

[tex]h(t) = 1 + 20t - 5t^2[/tex]

[tex]11 = 1 + 20t - 5t^2[/tex]

[tex]5t^2 - 20t + 10 = 0[/tex]

Simplifying by 5

[tex]t^2 - 4t + 2 = 0[/tex]

Which means that [tex]a = 1, b = -4, c = 2[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = (-4)^2 - 4(1)(2) = 8[/tex]

[tex]t_{1} = \frac{-(-4) + \sqrt{8}}{2} = 3.41[/tex]

[tex]t_{2} = \frac{-(-4) - \sqrt{8}}{2} = 0.59[/tex]

The ball height is 11 meters at t = 0.59 seconds and t = 3.41 seconds.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

add and complete

The x-intercepts of the function f(x) are:

Left x-intercept: (-3, 0)

Right x-intercept: (7, 0)

Given is a function, f(x) = -2(x + 3)(x - 7).

We need to find the x-intercept of the function,

To find the x-intercepts of the function f(x), we set f(x) equal to zero and solve for x:

-2(x + 3)(x - 7) = 0

Now, we can use the zero product property, which states that if a product of factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.

So, we have two cases to consider:

Case 1: x + 3 = 0

Solving this equation, we subtract 3 from both sides:

x = -3

Case 2: x - 7 = 0

Solving this equation, we add 7 to both sides:

x = 7

Therefore, the x-intercepts of the function f(x) are -3 and 7.

Writing them as ordered pairs, we have:

Left x-intercept: (-3, 0)

Right x-intercept: (7, 0)
