Expert Solution
Step 1

According to the sum,

Let X be the event that the number of persons failed to show up for the flight. So, X~Bin(21,0.0995)

p is the probability that a person will not show up =0.0995.

q=(1-p), is the probability that a person will show up =1- 0.0995.

No more than 19 passengers , So X2

[ As no more than 19 passengers, So, 21-X19 and X2]
