An airline, believing that 4% of passengers fail to show for flights, overbooks (sells more tickets than there are seats). suppose that for a particular flight involving a jumbo-jet with 267 seats, the airline sells 276 tickets.
a. what is the expected number of ticket holders that will fail to show for the flight?

Respuesta :

276/100=2.76  2.76=1%
2.76*4=11 rounded
11 people will fail to show

The expected number of ticket holders that will fail to show for the flight is 11.

Given that,

  • There is a fail percentage of 4%.
  • There are 267 seats.
  • And, the 276 airline tickets are sold.

Based on the above information,

= 276%

= 2.76

Now the number of ticket holders who fail for presenting the flight should be

[tex]= 2.76\times 4[/tex]

= 11

Therefore we can conclude that the expected number of ticket holders that will fail to show for the flight is 11.
