Question

An airport limousine can accommodate up to four passengers on any one trip. The company will accept a maximum of six reservations for a trip, and a passenger must have a reservation. From previous records, 40% of all those making reservations do not appear for the trip. 

Suppose the probability distribution of the number of reservations made is given in the accompanying table (Figure 1)

What is the probability mass function of X= 1,2,3,4

 

(c) Suppose the probability distribution of the number of reservations made is given in the accompanying table.
Number of reservations

Transcribed Image Text:(c) Suppose the probability distribution of the number of reservations made is given in the accompanying table. Number of reservations 3 4 6 Probability 0.15 0.25 0.34 0.26
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : 40% of all those making reservations do not appear for the trip. 

Since , the probability distribution table is given below ,

Number of reservation (x) 3 4 5 6 Total
P(X=x) 0.15 0.25 0.34 0.26 1.00

Our aim is to find the probability mass function of X= 1,2,3,4
