The file titled Sold contains the number of magazines sold in each of the stores.

a. Produce a frequency distribution for these data. Convert the frequency distribution into a probability distribution using the relative frequency assessment method.

b. Calculate the expected profit from the sale of these 10 magazines.

c. Starbucks is negotiating returning all unsold magazines for a salvage price. Determine the salvage price Starbucks will need to obtain to yield a positive expected profit from selling 10 magazines.
