Answer:

P(more than 2 don't show up)=0.2031

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication rule for independent events:

If two events A and B are independent then the multiplication rule state that:

P(A and B)= P(A) x P(B)

Find the probability that more than two do not show up:

The probability that the reservations at the restaurant do not show up is 0.20 (=20%) and there were 8 reservations.

P(more than 2 don't show up)= 1- P(less than or equal to 2 don't show up)

= 1-( P(none show up) +P(one don't show up)+P(two don't show up)

=1- ((0.8⁸) +₈ C₁ (0.2¹)x(0.8⁷)  +₈ C₂ (0.2²)x(0.8⁶)

=1- (0.1678 +0.3355+0.2936)= 1-0.7969

P(more than 2 don't show up)=0.2031
