E. The area between 3.5 and 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of exactly 4 passengers who don't show up = P (X=4)

Using the continuity correction by adding and subtracting 0.5 from 4.

P (X=4) = P (3.5
P (3.5
P (3.5
The probability can then be calculated by inserting the value of mean and standard deviation.

The probability of exactly 4 passengers who don't show up can be calculated by finding the area between 3.5 and 4.5.
