Any milk that is not sold during the week can be sold back to the farm for $2 per case. Based on the historical, she identified the following probability distribution of the demand. Weekly Demand (cases) Probability 16 0.05 17 0.15 18 0.35 19 0.25 20 0.2 One of the reasons why people come to her store is the availability of fresh milk, and those customers typically make other purchases along with fresh milk.
