Given that the demand for the 6 p.m. flight from Toledo Express Airport to Chicago's O'Hare Airport on Cheapfare Airlines is normally distributed with a mean of 132 passengers and a standard deviation of 42

Let X be the no of passengers who report

X is N(132, 42)

Or Z is $\frac{x-132}{42}$

a) Suppose a Boeing 757 with a capacity of 183 passengers is assigned to this flight.

the probability that the demand will exceed the capacity of this airplane

= $P(X>183) = P(Z>1.21) =$

$=0.5-0.3869\\=0.1131$

b) the probability that the demand for this flight will be at least 80 passengers but no more than 200 passengers

= $P(80\leq x\leq 200)\\= P(-1.23\leq z\leq 1.62)\\$

=0.4474+0.3907

=0.8381

c) the probability that the demand for this flight will be less than 100 passengers

$=P(x$

d) If Cheapfare Airlines wants to limit the probability that this flight is overbooked to 3%, how much capacity should the airplane that is used for this flight have? passengers

= $P(Z>c)=0.03\\c=1.88\\X=132+1.88(42)\\=210.96$
