Question 873004: When someone buys a ticket for an airline flight, there is a 0.0986 probability that the person will not show up for the flight. A certain jet can seat 15 passengers. Is it wise to book 17 passengers for a flight on the jet?
Determine whether or not booking 17 passengers for 15 seats on the jet is a wise decision.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! p(NOT showing UP) = .0986, n = 17
P(x > 15) = 1 - P(x ≤ 15) = 1 - binomcdf(17, .096, 15) = .2317 0r 23.17%
Chance of more than 15 showing Up is a bit high...
