Travelers who fail to cancel their hotel reservations when they have no intention of showing up are commonly referred to as no-shows. In anticipation of no-shows and late cancellations, most hotels overbook(i.e., accept reservations for more rooms than the number of rooms in their inventory). The Journal of Travel Research(Spring 1985) reported that six major hotels in the Seattle area had a no-show rate of10%. Let X equal the number of no-shows among the four travelers who have made hotel reservations in this study.
a) What is the probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows?
b) What is the most likely value for X?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) 0 is the most likely value for X.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each traveler who made a reservation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they show up, or they do not. The probability of a traveler showing up is independent of other travelers. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

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.

No-show rate of 10%.

This means that [tex]p = 0.1[/tex]

Four travelers who have made hotel reservations in this study.

This means that [tex]n = 4[/tex]

a) What is the probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows?

This is [tex]P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0486 + 0.0036 + 0.0001 = 0.0523[/tex]

0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) What is the most likely value for X?

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{4} = 0.6561[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{3} = 0.2916[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001[/tex]

X = 0 has the highest probability, which means that 0 is the most likely value for X.

Suppose the probability of a false positive result on a mammogram is 4%. Suppose that the probability of a false negative result on a mammogram is 2%. Assume that the probability that a randomly chosen woman has breast cancer is 0.0002. If a woman has a positive test result, what is the probability that she actually has breast cancer

Answers

Answer:

0.0049 = 0.49% probability that she actually has breast cancer

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test result

Event B: Breast cancer

Probability of a positive test result:

4% of (1 - 0.0002)

98% of 0.0002

So

[tex]P(A) = 0.04*(1 - 0.0002) + 0.98*0.0002 = 0.040188[/tex]

Having breast cancer and testing positive.

98% of 0.0002

So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.98*0.0002 = 0.000196[/tex]

What is the probability that she actually has breast cancer?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.000196}{0.040188} = 0.0049[/tex]

0.0049 = 0.49% probability that she actually has breast cancer

A store buys a jackets for $20.00 and sells it for 80% more than that what is the selling price of the jacket

Answers

Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

in the beginning $20 is %100 so divide 20 by 100                                              .you'll get .2 but to make this simple you'll want %10 so multiply .2 times 10 and you get 2                                                                                                         .now that 2 is %10 and you want %80 you multiply 2 8 times (or add it 8 times) because %10 times 8 = %80 so 2 times 8 = 16                                             .now that you have the %80 you want to add it to the %100 because they sold it for %80 then the price they bought if for (you get %180)                                                     . then you add the $20 to the $16 because that is what each percent equals (you get $36)

Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know: The jacket is marked up by 80% of the jacket. The store is now selling the jacket for 180% of what they bought it for.

Set up problem:    x        180%

                            ___ = ____

                           $20     100%

What do the numbers mean when set up like this(referring to problem set up): We know that $20 is the original price of the jacket. So $20 is 100% of the jacket(if that makes sense). Markup is 80% because "sells it for 80% more" . So it goes on top.

Solving the Problem#1:  180 x 20 = 3600

Solving the Problem#2: 3600/1000= $36

Checking My Math: What is 80% of $20. Let's divide $20 into 4 parts.  

$4 + $4 + $4 + $4 + $4 =20

$4 is 20% of 20

$8 is 40% of 20

$12 is 60% of 20

$16 is 80% of 20

$20 is 100% of 20

Final Answer: $36 is the selling price of the jacket

AT&T would like to test the hypothesis that the average revenue per retail user for Verizon Wireless customers is greater than $50. A random sample of 32 Verizon Wireless customers provided an average revenue of $54.70. It is believed that the population standard deviation for the revenue per retail user is $11.00. Using LaTeX: \alpha=0.05α = 0.05 , answer the following questions: a. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses to conduct an appropriate hypothesis test of mean. (3 points) b. Use the critical value approach to test this hypothesis. (3 points) State your decision and conclusions explicitly. (3 points) c. Use the p-value approach to test this hypothesis. (3 points) State your decision and conclusions explicitly. (3 points) d. Assume that the actual population mean for revenue per retail user is $44.30. Calculate the probability of type II error. (5 points)

Answers

Answer:

H0; u = 50 average revenue equals 50

H1: u not equal to 50, average revenue not equal to 50

This is 2 tailed

Alpha = 0.05

Z critical = 1.6449

We find the test statistics

Mean = 54.7

Sd = 11

n = 32

barX - u/sd/√n

= 54.70-50/11/√32

= 4.70/1.9435

= 2.418

Decision rule: reject H0 if test statistic > critical value. Accept if otherwise

2.418>1.6449

We reject H0

We conclude that average revenue is not equal to zero

C. P(z>=2.418) = 0.9922

1 - 0.9922

= 0.0078 (I used Ms excel here)

0.0078 < 0.05

So we Reject h0

If we divide Rs 20 between Jatin and Arnav in the ratio 3 : 2, how much will each of
them get?

Answers

Answer:

$12

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Jatin received = (ratio of Jatin's share / sum of ratios) x amount shared

sum of ratios = 3 + 2 = 5

(3/5) x 20 = $12

Amount Arnav received = (ratio of Arnav's share / sum of ratios) x amount shared

(2/5) x 20 = $8

or

$20 - $12 = $8

Put the equation 169x^2+25y^2-4225=0 in standard form and sketch the ellipse including the foci in your sketch ​

Answers

Answer:

The standard form of the ellipse is [tex]\frac{x^{2}}{25} +\frac{y^{2}}{169} = 1[/tex]. Coordinates of the foci are [tex]F_{1} (x,y) = (0,-c)[/tex] and [tex]F_{2}(x,y) = (0,c)[/tex], respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a ellipse centered in the origin in standard form is defined by following formula:

[tex]\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1[/tex] (1)

Where [tex]a, b[/tex] are the coefficients of the ellipse.

Now we proceed to transform the equation of the ellipse in general form into standard form by algebraic means:

[tex]169\cdot x^{2}+25\cdot y^{2}-4225 = 0[/tex]

[tex]169\cdot x^{2}+25\cdot y^{2} = 4225[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x^{2}}{25} +\frac{y^{2}}{169} = 1[/tex]

Since [tex]b > a[/tex], then major axis of the ellipse is located in y-axis. The distance between center and focus ([tex]c[/tex]) is calculated by following Pythagorean identity:

[tex]c =\sqrt{b^{2}-a^{2}}[/tex] (2)

[tex]c = 12[/tex]

The location of the foci are represented by [tex]F_{1} (x,y) = (0,-c)[/tex] and [tex]F_{2}(x,y) = (0,c)[/tex]. If we know that [tex]c = 12[/tex], then the location of the foci are, respectively:

[tex]F_{1}(x,y) = (0,-12)[/tex], [tex]F_{2}(x,y) = (0,12)[/tex]

No, the probability of success is not the same in all trials

Answers

Answer:

A. Yes, the result is a binomial probability distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The experiment above depicts a binomial probability distribution because the 4 required conditions are met :

1.) The distribution is independent as the possible outcome of each trial is the same.

2.) There are two possible categories and the result of each trial is one of two outcomes : Yes or No

3.) The number of observation is fixed at sample size of 5500

4.) The probability of success and failure of each trial is the same for all trials in the sample.

Hence, we can conclude that the experiment depicts a binomial probability distribution.
