2.36 Is it worth it?: Andy is always looking
for ways to make money fast. Lately, he has been trying to make
money by gambling. Here is the game he is considering playing: The
game costs $2 to play. He draws a card from a deck. If he gets a

have only one piece of checked luggage and 12% have two pieces. We
suppose a negligible portion of people check more than two
bags.
a) The average baggage-related revenue per passenger is: $
(please round to the nearest cent)
b) The standard deviation of baggage-related revenue is: $
(please round to the nearest cent)
c) About how much revenue should the airline expect for a flight of
120 passengers? $ (please round to the nearest dollar)
