Answer:
0.0159
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a common practice of airline companies is to sell more tickets for a particular flight than there are seats on the plane, because customers who buy tickets do not always show up for the flight.
Here if X is the no of persons that do not show up, then X is binomial as each trial is independent with p = 0.04 and n =150 (no of tickets sold)
The plane is overbooked if more than 150 show up
i.e. less than 2 do not show up
Hence the probability that the airline overbooked this flight
=
Answer:
0.0975 or 9.75%
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that no engines fail simultaneously, the probability that exactly one engine fails is the probability that the first engine fails (15%) multiplied by the probability that the second engine does not fail (100% - 35%):
The probability of exactly one engine failure is 0.0975 or 9.75%
