From experience, an airline knows that only 76% of the passengers booked on a flight from New York to Los Angeles actually board their flight. A random sample of 10 booked passengers from New York to Los Angeles is chosen. Find the probability that 6 or 7 of them board their flight. Do not round your intermediate computations, and round your answer to three decimal places
