Answer:

The maximum revenue is $54,000 for 40 unsold seat plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A charter flight charges a fare of $300 per person plus $15 per person for each unsold seat on the plane. The plane holds 100 passengers. Let x represent the number of unsold seats.

Total number of seats occupied = 100 - x

Revenue is given by  

R(x) = (300+15x)(100-x)\\R(x) = 30000 + 1200x -15x^2

First, we differentiate R(x) with respect to x, to get,

\dfrac{d(R(x))}{dx} = \dfrac{d(30000 + 1200x -15x^2)}{dx} = 1200 - 30x

Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,

\dfrac{d(R(x))}{dx} = 0\\\\1200 - 20x= 0\\x = 40

Again differentiation R(x), with respect to x, we get,

\dfrac{d^2(R(x))}{dx^2} = -30

At x = 40

\dfrac{d^2(R(x))}{dx^2} < 0

Thus, by double differentiation test maxima occurs at x = 40 for R(x).

Maximum revenue:

R(40) = (300+15(40))(100-40) = 54000

Thus, maximum revenue is $54,000 for 40 unsold seat plane.

The attached image shows the graph for the total revenue received for the flight

Using this distribution, find the probability
kaheart [24]

Answer:

P = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to use the probability distribution in the table to calculate the probability that a children has 4 or more shoes in his or her closet

When we say 4 or more, what we mean by this is that the teenager has 4 shoes or 5 shoes

In probability expressions, when we use the term ‘or’ we are simply talking about adding the terms involved

So what we can do here is to add the probability that the teenager has 4 shoes to the probability that the teenager has five shoes

From the table that would be; 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3
