Air-USA has a policy of booking as many as 24 persons on an airplane that can seat only 22. (Past studies have revealed that only 84% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the flight.) What is the expected number of passengers to arrive for the flight? Expected number of passengers = | (please round to two decimal places) Find the probability that if Air-USA books 24 persons, not enough seats will be available. prob = |(please round to four decimal places) Is this probability low enough so that overbooking is not a real concern for passengers if you define unusual as 5% or less? no, it is not low enough to not be a concern O yes, it is low enough not to be a concern
