A small regional carrier accepted 24 reservations for a particular flight with 20 seats. 18 reservations went to regular customers who will arrive for the flight. Each of the remaining passengers will arrive for the flight with a 58% chance, independently of each other. (Report answers accurate to 4 decimal places.) Find the probability that overbooking occurs. Find the probability that the flight has empty seats.
