Of all airline flight requests received by a certain discount ticket broker, 60% are for domestic travel (D) and 40% are for international flights (I). Let x be the number of requests among the next three requestsreceived that are for domestic flights. Assuming independence of successive requests, determine the probability distribution of x. (Hint: One possible outcome is DID, with the probability(0.60)(0.40)(0.60) = 0.144.)Value of xProbability3.

Let p be the probability that the request is for domestic flight. Given that p = 0.60 Also, X =…

Answered: Of all airline flight requests received…

Round your answer to four decimal places.P(x≤7)=P(x≤7)= Does 7 Mexican-Americans among 12 jurors suggest that the selection process discriminates against Mexican-Americans? no yes
Let X represent the number of homes a real estate agent sells during a given month. Based on previous sales records, she estimates that P(0)= 0.62, P(1)= 0.21, P(2)= 0.13, P(3)= 0.03, P(4)= 0.01, with negligible probability for higher values of x. Find the long-term average number of homes the real estate agent expects to sell each month.

Suppose a life insurance company sells a $260,000 1-year term life insurance policy to a 20-year-old female for $350. According to the National Vital Statistics Report, 58(21), the probability that the female survives the year is 0.999544. Compute and interpret the expected value of this policy to the insurance company.
