Question 62859

An airline estimates that 95% of the people booked on their flights actually show up. If the airline books 62 people on a flight for which the maximum number is 60, what is the probability that the number of people who show up will exceed the capacity of the plane?
---------------
P(X=61)+P(X=62)
=62C61(0.95)^61*(.05)^1 + 62C62(0.95)^62*(0.05)^0
=0.136 + 0,0416
=0.177
