A motel has a policy of booking as many as 150 guests in a building that holds 140. Past studies indicate that only 85% of booked guests show up for their room. Find the probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

0.0015 = 0.15% probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ , if $np \geq 10$ and $n(1-p) \geq 10$ .

150 guests booked:

This means that n = 150

85% of booked guests show up for their room.

This means that p = 0.85

Is the normal approximation suitable:

np = 150(0.85) = 127.5

n(1-p) = 150(0.15) = 22.5

Both greater than 10, so yes.

Mean and standard deviation:

$\mu = E(X) = np = 150*0.85 = 127.5$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{150*0.85*0.15} = 4.3732$

Find the probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

More than 140 show up, which, using continuity correction, is P(X 140 + 0.5) = P(X 140.5) , which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 140.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{140.5 - 127.5}{4.3732}$

Z = 2.97

Z = 2.97 has a p-value of 0.9985.

1 - 0.9985 = 0.0015.

0.0015 = 0.15% probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

Answer from: Quest

d. 8

step-by-step explanation:

the given radical expression is:

$\sqrt{16}\times \sqrt{4}$

we can rewrite this as:

$(16)^{\frac{1}{2}\times (4)^{\frac{1}{2}$

we express as square numbers to get;

$(4^2)^{\frac{1}{2}\times (2^2)^{\frac{1}{2}$

the exponents will now cancel out to give.

$4\times2=8$

the correct answer is d

What is the value of the radical expression shown below
