Question

In a scientific study, it was found that 10% of the people who make hotel reservations don't show up. A statistician examines 80 hotel reservations.

(a) Calculate the mean number of No-Show. (No Show= not showing up after making a reservation).

Answer 1

The mean number of No-Shows in a scientific study with 80 hotel reservations is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mean number of No-Shows, we need to multiply the percentage of No-Shows by the total number of hotel reservations. Since 10% of people don't show up, the percentage of No-Shows is 0.10. The total number of hotel reservations is 80. Therefore, the mean number of No-Shows is 0.10 * 80 = 8.
