Q2. An airline always overbooks if possible. A part ular plane has 95 seats on a Eight in which a 44 sells for $300.The airline sells 100 such ticketski this flight.

(a) if the probability of an individual not showing up is OM assuming independence, 44 is the probability that the airline can accomodate all the passengers who do show up?
