Not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat. To account for this, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that only holds 120 passengers. Suppose that the probability that any given passenger doesn’t show up for their flight is 10%. i. What is the probability that every passenger who shows up can get a seat on the flight? ii. What is the probability that the flight departs with empty seats? iii. Identify and critically assess any assumption(s) behind your calculations in parts (i) and (ii).

An airline estimates that 80% of passengers who reserve the tickets actually show up for the flights. Based on this information, it has to decide how many tickets it will sell for each flight, which is typically more than the number of seats actually available. In the economy section of a particular aircraft, 200 seats are available. The airline sells 225 seats. What is the probability that more passengers will show up than there are seats for?

Suppose that the probability that a passenger will miss a flight is 0.09560.0956. 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 5959 passengers.​(a) If 6161 tickets are​ sold, what is the probability that 6060 or 6161 passengers show up for the flight resulting in an overbooked​ flight?​(b) Suppose that 6565 tickets are sold....
