Question

8. When someone buys a ticket for an airline flight, there is a 0.0995 probability that the person will not show up for the flight. An agent for Air America wants to book 24 people on an airplane that can seat only 22. If 24 people are booked, find the probability that not enough seats will be available. You must show your work using a calculator function to receive credit.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2952

Step-by-step explanation:

Not enough seats will be available if 23 or 24 people show up.

Required probability = 24C24(0.9005)24 + 24C23(0.9005)23*0.0995 = 0.2952
