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​%?
