An airline knows that 5 percent of the people making reservations on a certain flight will not show up. Consequently, their policy is to sell 52 tickets for a flight that can hold only 50 passengers. What is the probability that there will be a seat available for every passenger who shows up?

the probability that there will be a seat available for every passenger who shows up is 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

if the probability of choosing a passenger that will not show up is 5% , then the probability of choosing a passenger that will show up is 95%.

Denoting event X= x passengers will show up from the total of 52 that purchased the ticket

Then P(X) follows a binomial probability distribution, since each passenger is independent from others. Thus

P(X) = n!/((n-x)!*x!)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= total number of passengers hat purchased the ticket= 52

p= probability of choosing a passenger that will show up

x = number of passengers that will show up

therefore the probability that the number does not exceed the limit of 50 passengers is:

P(X≤50)=  ∑P(X=i)  from i=0 to i=50   =F(50)

where F(x) is the cumulative binomial probability distribution, then from tables:

P(X≤50)= F(50) = 0.74

therefore the probability that there will be a seat available for every passenger who shows up is 0.74

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
