ecause all airline passengers do not show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that holds only 120 passengers. The probability that a passenger does not show up is 0.10, and the passengers behave independently. a. What is the probability mass function of passengers (x) who show up for the flight?

Hospitals typically require backup generators to provide electricity in the event of a power outage. Assume that emergency backup generators fail 44% of the times when they are needed. A hospital has two backup generators so that power is available if one of them fails during a power outage. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Find the probability that both generators fail during a power outage. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. Find the probability of having a working generator in the event of a power outage. Is that probability high enough for the hospital? Assume the hospital needs both generators to fail less than 1% of the time when needed.(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Is that probability high enough for the hospital? Select the correct answer below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. O A. No, because both generators fail about % of the time they are needed. Given the importance of the hospital's needs, the reliability should…
