a) Number of seats expected to be empty = 18
b) Number of passengers expected to show up for the flight = 291
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Probability that a passenger will not show up for the flight = 6%
Total capacity of the flight when fully booked = 300
Step 2 :
a)
Number of seats expected to be empty = 6% of 300 = × 300 = 18
b)
Number of passengers over booked = 10
Probability that a passenger will turn up for a flight = 100 - 6% = 94%
Number of passengers when the flight is overbooked = 300 + 10 = 310
Hence number of passengers who are expected to show up for the flight = 94% of 310 = × 310 = 291.4 = 291 (rounded of whole number as this represents number of passengers)
Step 3 :
Answer :
a) Number of seats expected to be empty = 18
b) Number of passengers expected to show up for flight = 291
