Explanation:
The optimal number of business travellers will be the mean of Poisson distribution i.e 20, since the number of business travellers follows Poisson distribution. Which means that the probability that there will be 20 business travellers will be higher than all other numbers.
Therefore 20 seats must be assigned to business travellers to maximize the revenue.

Efficiency wage theory
Explanation:
Efficiency wage theory was first postulated by Alfred Marshall, where he viewed compensation to workers as based on their efficiency.
Companies use efficient wage to reduce staff turnover, as staff are motivated to stay because of wages that are above the industry standard.
It is also a way to reduce cost mostly in industries where the cost of staff replacement is high.
Answer: Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.
Explanation:
The Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC) is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO). In doing so, they also influence the value of the dollar which is the currency of the U.S.
By pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC because the FOMC in deciding the interest rate for the U.S. and therefore the dollar, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does which is what the Peso is now going to do.
Answer:
The rise in unemployment.
Explanation:
The Phillips curve analyzes the relationship between inflation and unemployment, ie the trade-off between these two variables. Thus, rising inflation reduces unemployment, while a monetary policy of reducing inflation increases unemployment. Thus, the criticism would be that a 0% inflation target policy would be sacrificing employment, that is, it would be necessary to reduce growth and increase unemployment to reach very low levels of inflation.
