    X = number of passengers show up

    X follow binomial distribution with n = 180,

    p = 1 - 0.05

    = 0.95

    P (X = 178) = binom. dist (178,180,0.95,0)

    = 0.004364

    Therefore, The probability that exactly 178 passengers will show up and causing a shortage of three seats is 0.004364
