A Florida lottery machine and printer at Store #8302 operates 360 days a year. If the machine jams or breaks down, the Florida Lottery Commission loses an average of $2,000 in revenue per day. Preventive maintenance can be performed each morning and costs $670 per day, and the machine will not break down. Without preventive maintenance, the probability of a breakdown is as follows.  What are the economics of the situation? What do you recommend?
