Chapter 6.4, Problem 6.47E
No Shows Airlines and hotels often grant reservations in excess of capacity to minimize losses due to no-shows. Suppose the records of a hotel show that, on the average, 10% of their prospective guests will not claim their reservation. If the hotel accepts 215 reservations and there are only 200 rooms in the hotel, what is the probability that all guests who arrive to claim a room will receive one?

- Flexible Work Hours In a recent survey, people were asked whether they would prefer to work flexible hours----even when it meant slower career advancement----so they could spend more time with their families. The figure shows the results of the survey. What is the probability that three people chosen at random would prefer flexible work hours?arrow_forwardTelephone Marketing A mortgage company advertises its rates by making unsolicited telephone calls to random number. About 2% of the calls reach consumers who are interested in the company’s services. A telephone consultant can make 100 calls per evening shift. What is the probability that two or more calls will reach an interested party in one shift? How many calls does a consultant need to make to ensure at least a 0.5 probability of reaching one or more interested parties? [Hint: Use trial and error.]arrow_forward
