Suppose an airline accepted 15 reservations for a commuter plane with 12 seats. They know that 8 reservations went to regular commuters who will show up for sure. The other 7 passen- gers will show up with a 50% chance, independently of each other. Find the probability that the flight will be overbooked, i.e more passengers will show up than seats are available
