Suppose that the probability that a passenger will miss a flight is

0.0916

Airlines do not like flights with empty​seats, but it is also not desirable to have overbooked flights because passengers must be​ "bumped" from the flight. Suppose that an airplane has a seating capacity of

52

passengers.

​(a) If

54

tickets are​ sold, what is the probability that

53

or

54

passengers show up for the flight resulting in an overbooked​ flight?

​(b) Suppose that

58

tickets are sold. What is the probability that a passenger will have to be​ "bumped"?

​(c) For a plane with seating capacity of

51

​passengers, how many tickets may be sold to keep the probability of a passenger being​ "bumped" below

10​%?

Because many passengers who make reservations do not show? up, airlines often overbook flights? (sell more tickets than there are? seats). A certain airplane holds 166 passengers. If the airline believes the rate of passenger? no-shows is 6?% and sells 178 ?tickets, is it likely they will not have enough seats and someone will get? bumped? A)Use the normal model to approximate the binomial to determine the probability of at least 167 passengers showing up. B) Should the airline change...
