b. Construct a probability table for this problem
c. Determine the probability that a customer from the east coast will fly first class?
d. What is the probability that a customer will be from the east coast?
1. Based on problem 11, if you are the owner of the Eastern airlines how many seats do you need to cover the East Coast flights with a monthly total demand of 487,000 people for the entire airline?
