question
Mr. Reaich, the ticket agent for a small commuter airline, has developed a model to forecast the total monthly revenue from the airline's passenger service. Under this model, the total revenue, R, is equal to $368 times the number of first-class, F, plus $324 times the number of coach passengers, C. Their flight schedule and overall aircraft capacity limit the total number of passengers carried during a single month to a maximum of 30,775. The number of coach class passengers is at least seven times the number of first-class passengers, and logically, the number of airline passengers in either class cannot be negative. Express the model in mathematical form.

None of the listed answers are correct To find mean deviation minus the mean from each data value, add everything up, then divide by the number of data values. Example: 54, 49, 47, 48, 52 mean of data = 50 54 - 50 = | 4 | = 4 49 - 50 = |-1| = 1 47 - 50 = |-3| = 3 48 - 50 = |-2| = 2 52 - 50 = | 2 | = 2 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 12 12 ÷ 5 = 2.4 Mean deviation = 2.4
