J 2 10. Airlines routinely overbook flights to help lower the number of empty seats on their airplanes in order to increase profits. In the year 2005, the no-show rate was estimated to be 12%, with 88% of passengers with tickets actually showing up to take the flight. Suppose an airplane has 25 seats, and that the airline has sold 27 tickets. What is the probability that there will not be enough seats? 11. Referring to the no-show rates from Problem 10, out of 27 tickets sold, what are the mean and standard deviation for the number of people that show up to take the flight need answer for 11!

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
