Although the supplier will replace any defects free of charge, the plumbing company managers figure the cost of dealing with the defects is about $5.00 each. Complete parts a and b below. Click the icon to view the first probability distribution. Click the icon to view the second probability distribution. a. Assuming that the plumbing company is planning to purchase 2,500 of these faucets from the supplier, what is the total expected cost to the plumbing company for the deal? (Refer to the first probability distribution.) The total expected cost is s (Type an integer or a decimal.) b. Suppose that the plumbing company has an opportunity to buy the same faucets from another supplier at a cost of $29.00 per unit. However, based on its investigations, the company has assessed the second accompanying probability distribution for the proportion of defective faucets that will be delivered by the new supplier.
