Consider the pmf given in Exercise 31 for the random variable X = capacity of a purchased freezer. Write a program to simulate this random variable, then use your simulation to estimate both E(X) and SD(X). How do these compare to the exact values of E(X) and SD(X)?

Data From Exercise 31

An appliance dealer sells three different models of upright freezers having 13.5, 15.9, and 19.1 cubic feet of storage space, respectively. Let X = the amount of storage space purchased by the next customer to buy a freezer. Suppose that X has pmf
