Alab orders a shipment of 100 rats a week, 52 weeks a year, from a rat supplier for experiments that the lab conducts. prices for each weekly shipment of rats follow the distribution below: price $10.00 $12.50 $15.00 probability 0.4 0.15 0.45 how much should the lab budget for next year's rat orders, assuming the distribution does not change. (hint: find the expected price.) do not put a dollar sign in the box of your answer. answer to 2 decimal places.

Assuming the distribution does not change, the lab should budget $656.50 for next year's rat orders.

We calculate expected price as follows:

Expected Price = ( 10×0.4) + (12.5× 0.15) + ( 15×0.45)

Expected Price = $ 12.625 (4+1.875+6.75)

Since the expected price is for a week's shipment of rats,

Annual Expense = Expected Price × No. of weeks per year

Annual Expense = $ 12.625 × 52

Annual Expense = $656.5

one of the disadvantages of getting a government sponsored mortgage is they put a limit on the purchase price of the house. because the government is in charge of the mortage loan and terms, they are able to control how much money they are allowing someone to take out for the loan. not only are they incontrol, it's a lengthy process for a government sponsored mortgage.
