When someone buys a ticket for an airline flight, there is a
0.0974 the probability that the person will not show up for the flight. A certain jet can seat 14 passengers. Is it wise to book
16 passengers for a flight on the jet? Explain.

4. An airline has a policy of booking as many as 150 persons on a plane that seats 140. Past studies indicate that only 85% of booked passengers show up for their flight. Find the probability that if the airline books 150 persons for a 140- seat plane, not enough seats will be available.

An airline has a policy of booking as many as 19 persons on an airplane that can seat only 18. (Past studies have revealed that only 89% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the flight.) Find the probability that if the airline books 19 persons, not enough seats will be available.

A small airline has a policy of booking as many as 59 persons on an airplane that can seat only 51. {Past studies have revealed that only 76% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the flight.) Find the probability that if Air-USA books 59 persons, not enough seats will be available. Probability = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)

An airliner has a capacity for 250 passengers. If the airline company over book a flight with 260 reservations, what is the probability that there will be not enough seats to accommodate all passengers. Assume that the probability that a randomly selected passenger does not shows up to the airport is 0.035. Use the binomial distribution (5 points) Use the Normal distribution (5 points)

Case 7.2 Skyhigh Airlines Skyhigh Airlines flight 708 from New York to Los Angeles is a popular flight that is usually sold out. Unfortunately, some ticketed passengers change their plans at the last minute and cancel or re-book on another flight. Subsequently, the airline loses the $450 for every empty seat that the plane flies. To limit their losses from no-shows, the airline routinely overbooks flight 708, and hopes that the number of no-shows will equal the number of seats...

Because many passengers who make reservations do not show up, airlines often overbook flights (sell more tickets than there are seats). A certain airplane holds 154 passengers. If the airline believes the rate of passenger no-shows is 7% and sells 166 tickets, is it likely they will not have enough seats and someone will get bumped? a) Use the normal model to approximate the binomial to determine the probability of at least 155 passengers showing up. b) Should the airline...
