In the table below x denotes the X-Tract Company’s projected annual profit (in $1,000).  The table also shows the probability of earning that profit.  The negative value indicates a loss.

 

x f(x)   x = profit  
-100 0.01   f(x) = probability
-200 0.04      
0        
100 0.26      
200 0.54      
300 0.05      
400 0.02      

 

14 If we quadruple each value in the profit column above, the new variance of profit will be.
