The average baggage-related revenue per passenger is $16.30 per passenger.

Expected value formula: x×p(x)

First step

No passenger=0×.54

No passenger=0

Second step

One checked luggage for first bag=.30×$25

One checked luggage for first bag=$7.50

Third step

Two piece for the first and second bag=.16×($25+$30)

Two piece for the first and second bag=.16×$55

Two piece for the first and second bag=$8.80

Last step

Expected value=$7.50+$8.80

Expected value=$16.30

Therefore the average baggage-related revenue per passenger is $16.30 per passenger.
