Airlines sometimes overbook flights. Suppose that for a plane with 50 seats, 55 passengers have tickets. Define the random variable Y as the number of ticketed passengers who actuallyshow up for the flight. The probability mass function of Y appears in the accompanying table.y4546474849505152535455P(Y)0.040.100.110.140.240.200.060.050.030.020.01(a) What is the probability that the flight will accommodate all ticketed passengers who show up?(b) What is the probability that not all ticketed passengers who show up can be accommodated?(c) If you are the first person on the standby list (which means you will be the first one to get on the plane if there are any seats available after all ticketed passengers have beenaccommodated), what is the probability that you will be able to take the flight?What is this probability if you are the third person on the standby list?

Joon wants to determine whether his San Jose oil field will yield oil. He has hired a geologist to run tests on the field. If there is oil in the field, there is a 95% chance that the test will indicate oil. If the field contains no oil, there is a 5% chance that the test will indicate oil. If the test indicates that there is no oil in the field, what is the probability that the field contains oil? Before the test, Joon believes that there is a 10% chance that the field will yield oil.

Suppose that Stephen makes 95% of his free throws. Assume that late in a basketball game, he is fouled and is awarded two shots. (a) What is the probability that he will make both shots? (b) What is the probability that he will make at least one shot? (c) What is the probability that he will miss both shots? (d) Late in a basketball game, a team often intentionally fouls an opposing player in order to stop the game clock. The usual strategy is to intentionally foul the other team's worst free- throw shooter. Assume that Stephen's team's center makes 57% of his free-throw shots. Calculate the probabilities for the center as shown in parts (a), (b), and (c). Assume as in parts (a), (b), and (c) that two shots will be awarded. P(center makes two shots) = P(center makes at least one shot) = P(center misses both shots) =
