The table shows selected airlines and their scores on a 100-point scale in three categories: punctuality (on-time performance), safety (audit results), and service (passenger experience). Each category score is an integer between 0 and 100. The total score is calculated as a weighted average, with weights of 40% for punctuality, 40% for safety, and 20% for service

• If Emerald Sky had scored 5 points higher in service (with its punctuality and safety unchanged), it would rank second on total score.
Emerald Sky’s current total is 80.8. Increasing its service score by 5 points would add 0.2 * 5 = 1.0 point, raising the total to 81.8. The second-highest total belongs to Alpine Air at 85.0, so 81.8 would not place Emerald Sky at second place.
Answer: No
• Keeping service fixed, Terra Austral would need at least 5 additional points in punctuality and safety combined to exceed Desert Falcon’s total.
Terra Austral’s total is 82.2, while Desert Falcon’s is 83.8, a gap of 1.6. An increase of 4 points provides 1.6, which only creates a tie. Therefore, the smallest integer increase that surpasses the 1.6 gap is 5, which adds 2.0.
Answer: Yes
• Increasing each of the three category scores of Sahara Line by 10 points would decrease the range of the resulting total scores by more than 2.5 points.
Sahara Line’s current total is 76.4. Adding 10 points to each category raises the total by 0.4 * 10 + 0.4 * 10 + 0.2 * 10 = 10.0, making the new total 86.4.
The current highest total is 86.0 (Northwind Air) and the lowest is 76.4 (Sahara Line), so the current range is 86.0 − 76.4 = 9.6. After the increase, Sahara Line’s total becomes 86.4, making the highest 86.4 and the lowest 79.2 (Adriatic Blue), so the new range is 86.4 − 79.2 = 7.2.
The decrease in the range is 9.6 − 7.2 = 2.4, which is not more than 2.5.
Answer: No

No. Add 5 points in service is similar to add 1 points in the total (5*0.2=1). Emeral would have 81.8 total and wouldnt be ranked in second.
Quote:
Yes. Desert Falcon total is 83.8 and Terra Austral is 82.2, so we need to add 1.6 in total. +5 points in punctuality and safety combined add 2 points to the total (5*0.4=2). So 82.2+2 = 84.2 and 84.2 > 83.8.
Quote:
No. Adding 10 points in 3 categories make Sahara goes to the top of the rank with 86.4. The new botton is Adriatic Blue (79.2). New range is 86.4-79.2 = 7.2. Old range was 86.0-76.4= 9.6.
Old - New = 9.6 - 7.2 = 2.4 < 2.5, hence false.
