We must select the option that corresponds to the following situation:

• Probability of ,exactly 6 ,passengers who do not show up for a flight.

Now, if we have the graph of a distribution of probability, the probability is the area under the curve. Because we want to know the probability of an exact number x = 6, we cannot take the area under the curve, so we must make use of the continuity correction and take the area under the curve in the interval:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6-0.5Answer

D. The area between 5.5 and 6.5.
