A small regional carrier accepted 14 reservations for a
particular flight with 10 seats. 7 reservations went to regular
customers who will arrive for the flight. Each of the remaining
passengers will arrive for the flight with a 60% chance,
independently of each other.
Hint: Use the binomial distribution with p =
0.6.
Find the probability that overbooking
occurs.
Find the probability that the flight has empty seats.
