An independent television station airs a movie-of-the-week every Wednesday. Their market research shows that their horror movies are viewed by an average of 2600 people, their comedies are viewed by 4200 people, and their dramas are viewed by 8000 people. The station buys a package of 50 movies, consisting of 5 horror movies, 20 comedies, and 25 dramas. The movies will be shown one per week for 50 weeks. Find the expected number of viewers on a given movie.
------------------------------------------
Random number values: 2600 , 4200 , 8000
Corresponding Probabilities are: (5/50), (20/50), (25/50)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected number of viewers = (5/50)*2600 + (20/50)*4200 + (25/50)*8000
= 5940
