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
=
The subtraction sign in front of the second set of parenthesis changes the signs on the terms inside those parenthesis. So this could be rewritten as 
. None of the exponents on the x are the same, so we will just express it in terms of descending powers of x. 
. This is also the same as 
if you don't like to start with a negative. Either one is correct.
