Approximately 40% of the calls to an airline reservation phone line result in a reservation being made. (round to three decimal places) Suppose an operator handles 10 calls. What is the probability that none of the 10 calls result in a reservation? What is the probability that at least one call results in a reservation being made?

The probability that none of the 10 calls result in a reservation is 0.60%.  In turn, the probability that at least one call results in a reservation being made is 99.40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since approximately 40% of the calls to an airline reservation phone line result in a reservation being made, supposing an operator handles 10 calls, to determine what is the probability that none of the 10 calls result in a reservation, and what is the probability that at least one call results in a reservation being made, the following calculations must be performed:

0.6 ^ 10 = X

0.006 = X

0.006 x 100 = 0.60%

Therefore, the probability that none of the 10 calls result in a reservation is 0.60%.

100 - 0.60 = 99.40

In turn, the probability that at least one call results in a reservation being made is 99.40%.

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
