(a)Consider a flight with a seating capacity of 160 seats. This flight is always full and there is a chance to be overbooked. The actual no-show rate (NSR) of the flight is 3.5% and the estimated NSR is 6.3%. If this flight is oversold according to the estimated NSR, what is the number of excess/extra passengers that will show up and there will be no seats for them on the day of departure? (b)Consider a flight with a seating capacity of 160 seats. This flight is always full and there is a chance to be overbooked. The actual no-show rate (NSR) of the flight is 3.5% and the estimated NSR is 6.3%. If the one-way fare of this flight is $300. If this flight is oversold according to the estimated NSR, what is the additional revenue that this flight will generate due to overbooking?
