Suppose that the probability that a passenger will miss a flight is 0.0919. Airlinos do not like flights with empty seats, but it is also not desirable to have overbooked flights because passengers must be "bumped" from the flight Suppose that an airplane has a seating capacity of 56 passengers (a) If 58 tickets are sold, what is the probability that 57 or 58 passengers show up for the flight resulting in an overbooked flight? (b) Suppose that 62 tickets are sold. What is the probability that a passenger will have to be "bumped"? (c) For a plane with seating capacity of 250 passengers, what is the largest number of tickets that can be sold to keep the probability of a passenger being "bumped" below 1%? (a) The probability of an overbooked flight is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Angles in Circles
Angles within a circle are feasible to create with the help of different properties of the circle such as radii, tangents, and chords. The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the circumference of the circle. A tangent is a line made perpendicular to the radius through its endpoint placed on the circle as well as the line drawn at right angles to a tangent across the point of contact when the circle passes through the center of the circle. The chord is a line segment with its endpoints on the circle. A secant line or secant is the infinite extension of the chord.
Arcs in Circles
A circular arc is the arc of a circle formed by two distinct points. It is a section or segment of the circumference of a circle. A straight line passing through the center connecting the two distinct ends of the arc is termed a semi-circular arc.
