(a) Suppose a flight has 290 reservations. What is the probability that 25 or more passengers will miss the flight? (b) Suppose a flight has 320 reservations, but only 300 seats on the plane. What is the probability that 300 or fewer passengers show up for the flight? (c) Suppose a popular flight has 300 seats and 300 reservations. Because this flight is popular, the proportion of passengers with a reservation who miss the flight is only 0.04. You are booked on a later flight and put yourself on the stand-by list. There are 14 passenger names ahead of you. What is the probability you get on this flight?
