There is a rebellious group of Parisians who know how to travel by tube with minimal expenses. Instead of paying 1.9 Euro per ride (or around 53 Eur for a pass), they contribute 5-7 Eur a month to a joint fund, which covers their fines they need to pay if they are caught free riding. And RATP transport authorities estimated their losses to be approximately at around 80m Eur a year. What is known is that there are only 968 inspectors, and the tube users are checked only once every 6 weeks. You are thinking about how profitable it is to do what the Parisian group is doing and what are the chances of being caught. Define the random variable.
