The owner has read an advertisement from a local competitor that guarantees all high-definition television (HDTV) repairs within four days. Based on his company's experience, he wants to know if he can offer a similar guarantee. His past service records are used to determine the following probability distribution:

Number of days             Probability

1                                   0.15

2                                   0.25

3                                   0.30

4                                   0.18

5                                   0.12
