Question

Atlanta Airlines routinely overbooks its flight from At- lanta to Boston. Overbooking discounted seats can be expensive because providing a bumped passenger with a last-minute flight on a competing carrier can cost $450. A 120-passenger jet costs about $6000 to operate from Atlanta to Boston. The average ticket price is $300. a. Given the frequency of no-shows in the following table, how many seats should be overbooked? b. Atlanta Air offers special rates on its Atlanta/Boston route for the holidays. How would a $200 ticket price af- fect the number of seats overbooked?
