Suppose that the probability that a passenger will miss a flight is 0.0944. Airlines do not like flights with empty seats, but it is also not desirable tohave overbooked flights because passengers must be "bumped" from the flight. Suppose that an airplane has a seating capacity of 51 passengers.(a) If 53 tickets are sold, what is the probability that 52 or 53 passengers show up for the flight resulting in an overbooked flight?(b) Suppose that 57 tickets are sold. What is the probability that a passenger will have to be "bumped"?(c) For a plane with seating capacity of 280 passengers, what is the largest number of tickets that can be sold to keep the probability of apassenger being "bumped" below 1%?(a) The probability of an overbooked flight is(Round to four decimal places as needed.)CIT

Given that the probability that the passenger will miss the flight is 0.0944. Therefore, probability…

High school seniors with strong academic records apply to the nation's most selective colleges in greater numbers each year. Because the number of slots remains relatively stable, some colleges reject more early applicants. Suppose that for a recent admissions class, an Ivy League college received 2851 applications for early admission. Of this group, it admitted 1033 students early, rejected 854 outright, and deferred 964 to the regular admission pool for further consideration. In the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early admission applicants during the regular admission process. Counting the students admitted early and the students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class size was 2375. Let E, R, and D represent the events that a student who applies for early admission is admitted early, rejected outright, or deferred to the regular admissions pool. Answer questions 3-5.

Suppose that a bag contains one white chip and two red chips. Chips are going to be selected at random from the bag with replacement. What is the probability of selecting a white chip from the bag?

Is the probability of selecting two white chips greater than, equal to, or less than the probability of selecting two red chips? Explain your answer.
