Occasionally an airline will lose a bag. Suppose a small airline has found it can reasonably model the number of bags lost each weekday using a Poisson model with a mean of 2.2 bags.

a. What is the probability that the airline will lose no bags next Monday?
b. What is the probability that the airline will lose 0, 1, or 2 bags on next Monday?
c. Suppose the airline expands over the course of the next 3 years, doubling the number of flights it makes, and the CEO asks you if it’s reasonable for them to continue using the Poisson model with a mean of 2.2. What is an appropriate recommendation? Explain.

a) The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108

b) The probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227

c) I would recommend taking a Poisson model with mean 4.4 instead of a Poisson model with mean 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability mass function of X, for which we denote the amount of bags lost next monday is given by this formula

a)

The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108.

b) Note that . And

Therefore, the probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227.

c) If the double of flights are taken, then you at least should expect to loose a similar proportion in bags, because you will have more chances for a bag to be lost. WIth this in mind, we can correctly think that the average amount of bags that will be lost each day will double. Thus, i would double the mean of the Poisson model, in other words, i would take a Poisson model with mean 4.4, instead of 2.2.

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
