An airline studied the data from their passenger records and noted that their customers turn up only about 95% of the time. A flight can accommodate 40 passengers and each seat costs 4,000 Php. Suppose each passenger books a ticket independently and the airline decides to sell 42 tickets for the flight. 2. What is the probability that at most 40 show up for the flight. Use technology as needed.
