Suppose that the probability that a passenger will miss a flight is
0.0949.

Airlines do not like flights with empty​ seats, but it is also not desirable to have overbooked flights because passengers must be​ "bumped" from the flight. Suppose that an airplane has a seating capacity of
57

passengers.

​(a) If
59

tickets are​ sold, what is the probability that
58

or
59

passengers show up for the flight resulting in an overbooked​ flight?

​(b) Suppose that
63

tickets are sold. What is the probability that a passenger will have to be​ "bumped"?

​(c) For a plane with seating capacity of
230

​passengers, what is the largest number of tickets that can be sold to keep the probability of a passenger being​ "bumped" below
1​%?





​(a) The probability of an overbooked flight is


​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
