95% show up only for a flight of the time. Airline can fit 40 pax at $4000 but sells 42 tickets. What is the expected value of x? What is the interpretation of this value?

Answer 1

I can see why this has gone unanswered for so long. So many of the elements of the question are missing that it is impossible to answer with any confidence.

Cor G, if english is a second language try posting in your native language, there are multilingual tutors out there.

BTW - the expected value of x, assuming x is the revenue for the flight would be ($4000/40)*0.95
