Based on long experience, an airline found that about 8% of the people making reservations on a flight from Miami to Denver do not show up for the flight. Suppose the airline overbooks this flight by selling 265 ticket reservations for an airplane with only 255 seats.
(a) What is the probability that a person holding a reservation will show up for the flight?
(c) Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution and part (b) to answer the following question: What is the probability that a seat will be available for every person who shows up holding a reservation? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
