Homework: Ruway Operatios - Arrivals Use Ruway Operatios Arrival Spreadsheet 1. Plot a graph with Max # Arrivals/Hour o y-axis, Aircraft Type (i,j) o the x-axis ( H-H, L-L, M-M, S-S). What aircraft type pairig geerates the highest umber of operatios? What aircraft type pairig geerates the highest umber of operatios? Plot a graph with Total # Seats o y-axis, Aircraft Type (i,j) o x-axis (H-H, L-L, M-M, S-S). Assume seats for aircraft type as follows: H=524, L=304, M=44, S=36. What aircraft type pairig geerates the highest umber of seats for arrivals? What aircraft type pairig geerates the lowest umber of seats for arrivals? 16
