Explanation / Answer

here probability that the person will not show up for the flight=p=0.0982

number of booking=n=15

Expected number of person would not show up for the flight=n*p=15*0.0982=1.473

so  number of person would show up for the flight=15-1.473=13.527 , is more than number of seat 13.

therefore

right choice would be C.
