Digitalis is a technology company that makes high-end computer processors. Their newest processor, the luteA, is going to be sold directly to the public. The processor is to be sold for $2800, making Digitalis a profit of $452. Unfortunately there was a manufacturing flaw, and some of these luteA processors are defective and cannot be repaired. On these defective processors, Digitalis is going to give the customer a full refund. Suppose that for each luteA there is a 12% chance that it is defective and an 88% chance that it is not defective. (If necessary, consult a list.of formulas.) If Digitalis knows it will sell many of these processors, should it expect to make or lose money from selling them? How much?

O Digitalis can expect to make money from selling these processors. In the long run, they should expect to make dollars on each processor sold. O Digitalis can expect to lose money from selling these processors. In the long run, they should expect to lose dollars on each processor sold.
