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 89.0% 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. Is it unlikely for such an overbooking to oCcur? The probability that not enough seats will be available is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Is it unlikely for such an overbooking to occur? O A. It is not unlikely for such an overbooking to occur, because the probability of the overbooking is greater than 0.05. O B. It is unlikely for such an overbooking to occur, because the probability of the overbooking is less than or equal to than 0.05. Click to select your answer(s)
