Question:

The Iron Chicken restaurant is located on a busy interstate return to the Iron Chicken. But some are truck drivers whose routes take them past the Iron Chicken on a regular basis. Sybil, the nearsighted waitress at the Iron Chicken is unable to distinguish regular customers from one-time customers. Sybil can either give a customer good service or bad service. She knows that if she gives bad service to any customer, then she will get a small tip. If she gives good service to a truck driver, he will give her a large tip in the (futile) hope that she will recognize him the next time he comes, but if she gives good service to a one-time customer, he will still leave a small tip. Suppose that the cost to Sybil of giving a customer good service rather than bad service is $1. The tips given by dissatisfied customers and customers just passing through average $0.50 per customer. A truck driver who has received good service and plans to come back will leave a tip of $2. Sybil believes that the fraction of her customers who are truck drivers who plan to come back is x. In equilibrium we would expect Sybil to give good service if x is greater than __________ and bad service if x is smaller.
