Q5
A small regional carrier accepted 16 reservations for a
particular flight with 13 seats. 11 reservations went to regular
customers who will arrive for the flight. Each of the remaining
passengers will arrive for the flight with a 47% chance,
independently of each other.
Hint: Use the binomial distribution with p =
0.47.
Find the probability that overbooking
occurs.
Find the probability that the flight has empty
seats.
