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 $50 \%$ of the days she sells 100 pies. On another $25 \%$ of the days she sells 150 pies, and she sells 200 pies on the remaining $25 \%$ of the days. To make sure she has enough product, the owner bakes 200 pies each day at a cost of $\$ 1.50$ each. Assume any pies that go unsold are thrown out at the end of the day. If she sells the pies for $\$ 4$ each, find the probability distribution for her daily profit.
