Question
Daily Airlines flies from Amsterdam to London
every day. The price of a ticket for this extremely
popular flight route is $75. The aircraft has a
passenger capacity of 150. The airline
management has made it a policy to sell 160
tickets for this flight in order to protect
themselves against no-show passengers.
Experience has shown that the probability of a
passenger being a no-show is equal to 0.1. The
booked passengers act independently of each
other. Given this overbooking strategy, what is
the probability that some passengers will have
to be bumped from the flight?
