(Continued from the previous question) To counter no-shows, the airline is considering overbooking by selling 20 additional tickets, for a total of 220 tickets. The airline will be able to sell all 220 tickets given the high demand. If more passengers show up than there are available seats, the airline will have to compensate those passengers who cannot be accommodated. The compensation amount is normally distributed with a mean of $650 and a standard deviation of $100. Set up and run a simulation of 1,000 trials. Based on your simulation results, find and report the approximate probability that the revenue obtained from this overbooking strategy will exceed the revenue from Question 12. Would you recommend that the airline implement the overbooking policy? Why or why not?
