An airline company is considering a new policy of booking as many as 292 persons on an airplane that can seat only 260. (Past studies have revealed that only 85% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the flight.) Estimate the probability that if the company books 292 persons. not enough seats will be available.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Let X be the number of passengers that show up for the flight.

X ~ Binomial(292,0.85)

We need to find the probability:

P(X>260) = P(X>=261)

Using Normal approximation to the binomial:

Using accurate excel answer:

=1-BINOM.DIST(260,292,0.85,TRUE)

=0.0185558416434142

In airline​ applications, failure of a component can result in catastrophe. As a​ result, many airline components utilize something called triple modular redundancy. This means that a critical component has two backup components that may be utilized should the initial component fail. Suppose a certain critical airline component has a probability of failure of 0.033 and the system that utilizes the component is part of a triple modular redundancy. ​(a) What is the probability that the system does not​ fail?...
