document.write( "Question 851782: An airline knows that on average, 95% of passengers who reserve seats show up for their flight. On a particular flight with 100 seats, the airline accepts 105 reservations.
\n" ); document.write( "(a) If passengers show up independently of one another, find the probability that the flight will be overbooked.
\n" ); document.write( "(b) Suppose that among the 105 reservations there is a party of three (say a husband, a wife, and a toddler) that will travel together, that is, the three passengers will either show up at the gate together with 95% chance, or not show up at all with 5% chance. Assume the rest of the passengers travel alone. Recalculate the probability that the flight will be overbooked. \n" ); document.write( "
