Essay

As an incentive to get new customers, the local branch of a bank launched "bouncing
for bucks." During this week long event, any customer opening a new checking account
with the bank would have the opportunity to throw a bouncy rubber ball into a large box
divided into squares. Each square was labeled with a dollar amount that would be
deposited into his/her new checking account. The way the box was labeled is shown
below. $$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | l | } \hline 10 & 30 & 10 & 30 & 10 \\\hline 20 & 10 & 50 & 10 & 20 \\\hline\end{array}$$
