A new airline plans to fly several daily flights from Madison to Appleton.  Based on historical data, the flight on Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving is always sold out.  However, there are usually no-shows so the airline wants to increase revenue by overbooking.  They estimate that the no-shows are normally distributed with a mean of 8 and a standard deviation of 2.83.  The airline feels that if they “get caught” overbooking, then the cost will be about five times more than the ticket price.  Since Appleton is a family-oriented town, the airline management is dreading bad publicity around Thanksgiving, so it decides that it does not want to bump passengers more than 5% of the time.  What is the maximum number of seats the airline should overbook?

Hotel manager Basil Fountain and his resourceful assistant, Casey,  run a 26-room hotel in a quaint little town called Poynette.  A combination of Mr. Fountain’s friendly attitude and the absence of a respectable inn in the nearby vicinity imply that Mr. Fountain enjoys sufficient demand to fill the hotel at his low fare of $159 per night.  Casey notes that some customers will walk into the hotel requesting a room for the night and that they are willing to pay a higher fare of $325 per night.  Casey knows that walk-in customer demand varies according to a normal distribution with a mean of 7 and a standard deviation of 2.75.  She suggests that some rooms should be held back from the low-fare customers so that they can serve the high-fare customers.  To maximize expected profits with Casey’s plan, what is the booking limit that should be set for low-fare customers?
