Question

When someone buys a ticket for an airline flight, there is a 0.0975 probability that the person will not show up for the flight. A certain jet can seat 20 passengers. Is it wise to book 22 passengers for a flight on the jet? Explain. Determine whether or not booking 22 passengers for 20 seats on the jet is a wise decision. Select the correct choice below and fil in the answer box in that choice with the probability that there are not enough seats on the jet. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) t is a wise decision because the probability that there are not enough seats on the jet is So, overbooking is an unlikely event O B. t is not a wise decision because the probability that there are not enough seats on the jet is So, overbooking is an itis not a wise decision because the probability that there are not enough seats on the jet is So, averbooking is not an unl O D. t is a wise decision because the probability that there are not enough seats on the jet is that there are not enough seats on the jet is So, overbooking is not an

Explanation / Answer

X = number of people who will not show up
X follow binomial distribution with n = 22 , p = 0.0975
P(X <= 1)
= P(X = 0) + P(X =1)
= 0.3534
> 0.05

C) is correct
probability of there are not wnought seat is 0.3534
