An airport shuttle service uses a van that can accommodate a driver and 9 passengers. Past experience has shown that 80% of people who make a reservation actually show up. The probability of any person showing up for the van is independent from whether other people show up or don’t show up.
If the shuttle service takes 9 reservations for the 2 p.m. shuttle, what is the probability that exactly 7 people show up?
ANSWER (4 decimal places):_______________________
In order to avoid too many empty seats, the airport shuttle company decides to take 10 reservations for the 9-passenger van. The probability of someone showing up to claim their reservation is still 80%. What is the probability that there will not be enough seats for all of the people who show up?

Problem 5 Say that you operate an airport shuttle service from Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City to Norman. The shuttle can accommodate up to four passengers on any one trip from the airport to Norman. Your service will accept a maximum of six reservations for a trip, and a passenger must make a reservation to take the shuttle. Based on trip history, 20% of those making reservations do not appear for the trip. Assume independence in the following...

Flights American Airlines Flight 201 from New York's JFK airport to LAX airport in Los Angeles uses a Boeing 767-200 with 168 seats available for passengers. Because some people with reservations don't show up, American can overbook by accepting more than 168 reservations. If the flight is not overbooked, the airline will lose revenue due to empty seats, but if too many seats are sold and some passengers are denied seats, the airline loses money from the compensation that must...

Allegiant Airlines is considering an overbooking policy for one of its flights. The airplane has 50 seats, but Allegiant is considering accepting more reservations than seats because sometimes passengers do not show up for their flights, resulting in empty seats. The PassengerAppearance worksheet in the file Overbooking contains data on 1,000 passengers showing whether or not they showed up for their respective flights. Click on the datafile logo to reference the data. Data table summary- is 43 NO and 957...

2. Because many passengers who make reservations do not show up, airlines often overbook flights (sell more tickets than there are seats). A Boeing 767-400ER holds 245 passengers. The airline believes the rate of passenger not showing up is 5% and sells 255 tickets. [10 Marks] a. Use Normal approximation to determine the binomial probability of at least 246 passengers showing up. [9 Marks] b. Should the airline change the number of tickets it sells for...

Because many passengers who make reservations do not show up, airlines often overbook flights (sell more tickets than there are seats). A certain airplane holds 154 passengers. If the airline believes the rate of passenger no-shows is 7% and sells 166 tickets, is it likely they will not have enough seats and someone will get bumped? a) Use the normal model to approximate the binomial to determine the probability of at least 155 passengers showing up. b) Should the airline...
