Of the aircraft that are discovered, 69% have an emergency locator, whereas 83% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator. Suppose a light aircraft has disappeared.

(a) If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered?

(b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

(1 point) A certain airline has 170 seats available for a flight from YYC (Calgary International Airport) to LAX (Los Angeles International Airport). Because people with reservations do not show up for their flight 11% of the time, the airline always overbooks this flight. That is, there are more passengers that have tickets on the flight than there are seats. Suppose the airline has 183 passengers booked for 170 seats. Assume one person showing up for the flight does not...
