Question

Air-USA has a policy of booking as many as 26 persons on an airplane that can seat only 22. (Past studies have revealed that only 85% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the flight.)

Find the probability that if Air-USA books 26 persons, not enough seats will be available. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

prob =

Is this probability low enough so that overbooking is not a real concern for passengers if you define unusual as 5% or less?

a. Since the probability is above 5%, this should be a concern

b. Since the probability is below 5%, this should not be a concern
