The station buys a package of 100 movies, consisting of 15 suspense movies,
40 comedies, and 45 dramas.
The movies will be shown two per week for 50 weeks.
Find the expected number of viewers on a given movie.

Find the total viewers for the 100 movies
15(3500) = 52500 (suspense)
40(4500) = 180000 (comedies)
45(6000) = 270000 (dramas)
