Question 1161278: An airline estimates that 96% of people booked on their flights actually show up. If the airline books 70 people on a flight for which the maximum number is 68, what is the probability that the number of people who show up will exceed the capacity of the plane? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Binomial with n=70 and p=0.96
want to know what p(69) and p(70) is
p(70)=0.96^70=0.0574
p(69)=70*0.96^69*0.04=0.1674
The probability is the sum of those two or 0.2248
