After Plowing Through Contracts for a Decade, the Contract Writer

question 74

Essay

After plowing through contracts for a decade, the contract writer knew about how long it took to crank out the material necessary to satisfy a contract's requirements. The distribution could be modeled using the data provided in this table.
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | } \hline \begin{array} { c } \text { Number of } \\\text { Weeks }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Random } \\\text { Number Range }\end{array} \\\hline 2 & 0 - 5 \\\hline 3 & 6 - 15 \\\hline 4 & 16 - 35 \\\hline 5 & 36 - 80 \\\hline 6 & 81 - 99 \\\hline\end{array}$$
-If each contract is worth $4000 but it costs $200 per week to work on a contract, what is the profit resulting from a simulation drawing of the numbers 72, 36, 8, 71, and 94?
