An airline, believing that 5% of passengers fail to show up for flights, overbooks (sells more tickets than there are seats). Suppose a plane will hold 265 passengers, and the airline sells 275 tickets. What's the probability the airline will not have enough seats, so someone gets bumped?

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Some passengers of the airline won't have seats if all the 265 passengers shows up.

    Number of extra passengers = 275 - 265 = 10

    Total number of seats = 265

    Probability = 10 : 265 = 0.037735849056

    Approximately 0.0377
