An airline sells 100 tickets for a certain flight on an airplane that has only 97 seats because, on the average, 2 percent of purchasers of airline tickets do not appear for the departure of their flight. Determine the probability that everyone who appears for the departure of this flight will have a seat.

An airline finds that 4 percent of the passengers that make reservations on a particular flight will not show up. Consequently, their policy is to sell 100 reserved seats on a plane that has only 98 seats. Find the probability that every person who shows up for the flight will find a seat available. What do I know? What do I want to find out? What do I expect the answer to be? How do I go from what I know to what I want to find? Is the answer consistent with what I expected?
