2.7-11. An airline always overbooks if possible. A partic- ular plane has 95 seats on a flight in which a ticket sells for $300. The airline sells 100 such tickets for this flight. (a) If the probability of an individual not showing up is 0.05, assuming independence, what is the probability that the airline can accommodate all the passengers who do show up? (b) If the airline must return the $300 price plus a penalty of $400 to each passenger that cannot get on the flight, what is the expected payout (penalty plus ticket refund) that the airline will pay?
