Of all airline flight requests received by a certain discount ticket broker, 70% are for domestictravel (D) and 30% are for international flights (I). Let x be the number of requests among the next three requests received that are for domestic flights. Assuming independence of successive requests, determine the probability distribution of x.

Samples of 20 parts from a metal punching process are selected every hour. Typically, 1% of the parts require rework. Let X denote the number of parts in the sample of 20 that does not require rework. If the rework percentage increases to 4%, what is the probability that all 20 samples do not require rework? a. 0.4420 O b. NONE c. 0.8179 O d. 0.5580
The solution already uploaded was not that clear.... Question: A small commuter airline flies planes that can seat up to 8 passengers. The airline has determined that the probability that a ticketed passenger will not show up for a flight is 0.2. For each flight the airline sells tickets to the first 10 people placing orders. The probability distribution for the number of tickets sold per flight is shown in the accompanying table. For what propor- tion of the airline’s flights does the number of ticketed passengers showing up exceed the number of avail- able seats? (Assume independence between the num- ber of tickets sold and the probability that a ticketed passenger will show up.) Number of tickets: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Probability: 0.25, 0.35, 0.25, 0.10, 0.05
A study of the incoming freshman class at a university found that 60% of the students had taken AP Calculus in high school, 55% had taken AP English in high school, and 20% had taken both AP Calculus and AP English. One incoming freshman is randomly selected from the population of incoming freshman. Let: C = the selected student took AP Calculus E = the selected student took AP English What is the probability that the selected incoming freshman took AP English or AP Calculus, i.e. P( C or E)? 0.15 O 0.75 0.80 0.05 0.95

Nicole has purchased the life insurance policy for her fish for the price of $200 per year and Nicole will receive $4000 in case if her fish passes away. The insurance company estimated the probability of her fish passing away during the length of the policy to be 0.5%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) fish passes away fish survives 2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following: E[X]=μX=E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.) SD[X]=σX=SD[X]=σX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)

A car dealer is trying to sell five used cars. She attempts to sell a car to each customer that walks in. Suppose that only 7% of all the potential customers are willing and able to purchase a car, and assume that each customer acts independently of one another. Let X denote the number of customers that walk in before all five cars are sold. What is the distribution of X? What is the probability that the last car is sold to the 100th customer?
