Airline overbooking is a common practice. Due to uncertain plans, many people cancel at the last minute or simply fail to show up. Air Eagle is a small commuter airline. Its past records indicate that 80% of the people who make a reservation will show up for the flight. The other 20% do not show up. Air Eagle decided to book 12 people for today's flight. Today's flight has just 10 seats.

1. Find the probability that there are enough seats for all the passengers who show up. (Hint: Find the probability that in 12 people, 10 or less show up.)

2. How many passengers are expected to show up?
