Weekly profit on pennant flags at the baseball stadium is simply the unit profit, F, multiplied by the number of units sold, N. The product line is not really doing that well, and the concessions manager would like to discontinue the pennant flags and sell more candy and diet soda. Create a probability distribution plot for the pennant flag data in the table below.

1. Compute the anticipated mean and standard deviation for the weekly profit.
2. The concessions manager thinks that sales might increase if the pennant flags had a "Made in Cleveland" tag attached, though that would increase the price by $10 \%$ for each unit. Is this still profitable?
3. The local newspaper has caught wind of the idea that the pennants might be discontinued, generating some bad press that the pennants have been part of the ball club for 60 years, and fans should boycott the concession stands. What would you do?
