The Orchard Wine Company purchases grapes from one of two nearby growers each season to produce a particular red wine. It purchases enough grapes to produce 3000 bottles of the wine. Each grower supplies a certain portion of poor-quality grapes that will result in a percentage of bottles being used as fillers for cheaper table wines according to the following probability distribution.

The two growers charge a different price for their grapes and because of differences in taste, the company charges different prices for their wine depending on which grapes they use. The annual profit from the wine produced from each grower€™s grapes for each percentage defective is as follows.
