Problem 26
The Steak and Chop Butcher Shop purchases steak from a local meatpacking house. The meat is purchased on Monday at $2.00 per pound, and the shop sells the steak for $3.00 per pound. Any steak left over at the end of the week is sold to a local zoo for $.50 per pound . The possible demands for steak and the probability of each are shown in the following table:
Demand (lb.) Probability
20 .10
21 .20
22 .30
23 .30
24 .10
1.00
