consumer electronics store stocks four alarm clock radios. If it has fewer than four clock radios available at the end of a​ week, the store restocks the item to bring the​ in-stock level up to four. If weekly demand is greater than the four units in​ stock, the store loses sales. The radio sells for ​$27 and costs the store ​$14. The manager estimates that the probability distribution of weekly demand for the radio is as shown in the provided data table. Complete parts a through d below.   a.

Question
consumer electronics store stocks
four
alarm clock radios. If it has fewer than
four
clock radios available at the end of a​ week, the store restocks the item to bring the​ in-stock level up to
four.
If weekly demand is greater than the
four
units in​ stock, the store loses sales. The radio sells for
​$27
and costs the store
​$14.
The manager estimates that the probability distribution of weekly demand for the radio is as shown in the provided data table. Complete parts a through d below.
 
a. What is the expected weekly demand for the alarm clock​ radio?
 
The expected weekly demand is
3.783.78.
​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.)
b. What is the probability that weekly demand will be greater than the number of available​ radios?
 
The probability is
0.220.22.
​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.)
c. What is the expected weekly profit from the sale of the alarm clock​ radio? (Remember: There are only
four
clock radios available in any week to meet​ demand.)
 
The expected weekly profit is
​$nothing.
​(Round to the nearest cent as​ needed.)
 
d.  On average, how much profit is lost each week because the radio is not available when demanded?   The expected weekly profit lost is?
