4) Experience shows that a ski lodge will be full (162 guests) if there is a heavy snow fall in December, while only partially full (53 guests) with a light snow fall. What is the expected number of guests if the probability for a heavy snow fall is .40? Assume that heavy snowfall and light snowfall are the only two possibilities.
