Question

Suppose 1/3 of the next 3000 passengers have a frequent flyer account. Remember that you already have 110 passengers with frequent flyer accounts from the last question. Find the percentage of observed passengers (3339 total) with a frequent flyer account.

Answer 1

Percentage of observed passengers with a frequent flyer account = 33% approximately.

Explanation:

It is given that 1/3 of the next 3000 passengers have a frequent flyer account.

So,
`(1)/(3) (3000)` = 1000 passengers have a frequent flyer account.

It is also given that we already have 110 passengers with frequent flyer accounts from the last question.

So, total number of passengers who have flyer account = 1000 + 110 = 1110

It is given that the total number of passengers = 3339

Hence, the percentage of passengers with a flyer account =
`(1110)/(3339) (100)`

= 33% approximately
