Suppose that the probability that a passenger will miss a flight is 0.0925. Airlines do not like flights with empty​ seats, but it is also not desirable to have overbooked flights because passengers must be​ "bumped" from the flight. Suppose that an airplane has a seating capacity of 53 passengers. Suppose that 57 tickets are sold. What is the probability that a passenger will have to be​ "bumped"?

​(a) Suppose that 57 tickets are sold. What is the probability that a passenger will have to be​ "bumped"? ​

(b). For a plane with seating capacity of 51 ​passengers, how many tickets may be sold to keep the probability of a passenger being​ "bumped" below 55%?

For part a using binomcdf (59,0.9075,53)= .4676 1-.4676=0.5324. However when doing it by hand 59nCr53(0.9075)53 (1-0.9075)6 =.1646 . Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong when using the formula to solve the question? Thank you  

For part b not sure how to do it

Five cards are dealt with. What is the probability that the 4th one is a king?...

Five cards are dealt with. What is the probability that the 4th one is a king? My answer was 4/52. Then my instructor gave the following comments: I agree with your answer for the "with replacement" scenario. I do however interpret the question where someone is dealing out cards to be a scenario without replacement. Could you also include the without replacement probability? What I meant was an enumeration of the probability that the 4th card dealt is a king, with the various possibilities that a king or more has been dealt in the first three cards. So for example, No king dealt in first 3 cards, followed by king in 4th card: (48/52)*(47/51)*(46/50)*(4/49) Exactly 1 king dealt in first 3 cards, followed by king in 4th card (4/52)*(48/51)*(47/50)*(3/49) * 3, where the 3 represents the 3 ways a sole king can be drawn in the first three cards Then logic would follow for exactly 2 kings in the first 3 (followed by king in 4th card), and then all kings in the first 3 (followed by king in the 4th card). Then logic would follow for exactly 2 kings in the first 3 (followed by king in 4th card), and then all kings in the first 3 (followed by king in the 4th card). Kindly help me understand this. Thanks!

If you flip a fair coin, the probability that the result is heads will be 0.50. A given coin is tested for fairness using a hypothesis test of H0:p=0.50 versus HA:p≠0.50. The given coin is flipped 180 times, and comes up heads 110 times. Assume this can be treated as a Simple Random Sample. The test statistic for this sample z and the p value

I am interested in the effect of majoring in economics on the probability that a Binghamton student will work in the financial sector during the first year after college. Define a treatment variable and an outcome variable. What do you expect is the sign of the difference in means, positive or negative? What do you think is the sign of the selection bias? Explain.

Suppose that the probability that a fluorescent light will have a useful life of at least 500 hours is 0.85. Suppose you have 10 of these fluorescent lights in your workshop. Find the following probabilities:

(a) The probability that 8 of these will have a useful life of at least 500 hours.

(b) The probability that at most 2 of them will not have a useful life of 500 hours.

3- For this section, we will study the probability distribution for Italy. It is assumed that the confirmed cases show a normal distribution behavior. Find the mean and the standard deviation.

Consider the period between Feb, 22 and June, 22. This period is considered as the lock down period in Italy. The mean and the standard deviation gives an idea about the period to spread the virus and time required to diminish the strength of the COVID-19
Please I want this question to be answer completely.
