In graph (3), there is a range between P1 and P2 where the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied, meaning there are empty seats. Therefore, if the price is set at P*, within this range, there will be empty seats. Setting the price at P2 or above would result in a surplus of supply, while setting it below P1 would result in a shortage of supply. Therefore, the best choice is to set the price at P2, where there is an appropriate balance between supply and demand, and any empty seats are minimized.
