Problem -

Leonard Presby's newsstand uses naive forecasting to order tomorrow's papers. The number of newspapers ordered corresponds to the previous day's demands. Today's demand for papers was 22. Presby buys the newspapers for $.20 and sells them for $.50. Whenever there is unsatisfied demand, Presby estimates the lost goodwill cost at $.10. Complete the accompanying table, and answer the questions that follow.

Demand	Probability
21	.25
22	.15
23	.10
24	.20
25	.30

Day	Papers Ordered	Random Number	Demand	Revenue	Cost	Goodwill Cost	Net Profit
1	22	27
2		19
3		52
4		8
5		22
6		61
