Question:
Suppose that the probability that a passenger will miss a flight is
0.09620.0962.
Airlines do not like flights with empty seats, but it is also not desirable to have overbooked flights because passengers must be "bumped" from the flight. Suppose that an airplane has a seating capacity of
5050
passengers.(a) If
5252
tickets are sold, what is the probability that
5151
or
5252
passengers show up for the flight resulting in an overbooked flight?(b) Suppose that
5656
tickets are sold. What is the probability that a passenger will have to be "bumped"?(c) For a plane with seating capacity of
250250
passengers, what is the largest number of tickets that can be sold to keep the probability of a passenger being "bumped" below
11%?
