Multiple Choice

Identify Discrete Probability Distributions
-An Apple Pie Company knows that the number of pies sold each day varies from day to day. The owner believes that on 50%50 \% of the days she sells 100 pies. On another 25%25 \% of the days she sells 150 pies, and she sells 200 pies on the remaining 25%25 \% of the days. To make sure she has enough product, the owner bakes 200 pies each day at a cost of $1.50\$ 1.50 each. Assume any pies that go unsold are thrown out at the end of the day. If she sells the pies for $4\$ 4 each, find the probability distribution for her daily profit.
