A small regional carrier accepted 19 reservations for a particular flight with 17 seats. 14 reservations went to regular customers who will arrive for the flight. Each of the remaining passengers will arrive for the flight with a 52% chance, independently of each other. (Report answers accurate to 4 decimal places.)1. Find the probability that overbooking occurs.
2. Find the probability that the flight has empty seats.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

(a) The probability of overbooking is 0.2135.

(b) The probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the number of passengers showing up for the flight.

It is provided that a small regional carrier accepted 19 reservations for a particular flight with 17 seats.

Of the 17 seats, 14 reservations went to regular customers who will arrive for the flight.

Number of reservations = 19

Regular customers = 14

Seats available = 17 - 14 = 3

Remaining reservations, n = 19 - 14 = 5

P (A remaining passenger will arrive), p = 0.52

The random variable X thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.52.

(1)

Compute the probability of overbooking as follows:

P (Overbooking occurs) = P(More than 3 shows up for the flight)

$=P(X>3)\n\n={5\choose 4}(0.52)^(4)(1-0.52)^(5-4)+{5\choose 5}(0.52)^(5)(1-0.52)^(5-5)\n\n=0.175478784+0.0380204032\n\n=0.2134991872\n\n\approx 0.2135$

Thus, the probability of overbooking is 0.2135.

(2)

Compute the probability that the flight has empty seats as follows:

P (The flight has empty seats) = P (Less than 3 shows up for the flight)

$=P(X<3)\n\n1-P(X\geq 3)\n\n=1-[{5\choose 3}(0.52)^(3)(1-0.52)^(5-3)+{5\choose 4}(0.52)^(4)(1-0.52)^(5-4)+{5\choose 5}(0.52)^(5)(1-0.52)^(5-5)]\n\n=1-[0.323960832+0.175478784+0.0380204032]\n\n=0.4625399808\n\n\approx 0.4625$

Thus, the probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.

The shape is a quadrilateral, because it has four sides.

And sum of angles in a quadrilateral = 360 degrees.

The angle with no number but just a symbol = 90 degrees.

From the fourth angle been M:

Therefore: 90 + 62 + 127 + M = 360

279 + M = 360

M = 360 - 279

M = 81

M = 81°
