On average, 70 percent of the passengers on a flight from San Francisco to Boston prefer chicken to fish. Assume that the passengers have only one of two choices, chicken or fish for their meal. If there are 200 passengers on a flight and the airline carries 140 chickens and 60 fish dinners, what is the probability that more than five passengers will be disappointed?
There is a 0% probability that anyone at all will be disappointed. 70% of 200 passengers is 140 passengers and there are 140 chicken dinners in stock, along with the 60 fish dinners that will feed the other 30% of 200 passengers.
