A Florida lottery machine and printer at Store #8302 operates 360 days a year. If the machine does not work and breaks down, it costs the Florida Lottery Commission $2,070 per day. If store employees are trained to perform local tests on the machine each day plus the costs of machine repairpersons, these preventive maintenance costs average $770 per day. If preventive maintenance is performed daily, the probability the equipment fails is zero. The probability of store lottery machine breakdown is as follows.
| number of lottery | |||
| machine breakdowns per | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| day | |||
| probability of breakdown | 1/3 | 1/3 | 1/3 |
What are the economics of the situation? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
The expected cost of a breakdown per day is $__________
The Florida Lottery Commission saves $_________ per year performing preventive maintenance daily.
