Can someone help me with this calculus problem? A citrus grower will make a pro t of $100000 this year if the winter is mild. There is a 25% chance that the temperature will drop, destroying 40% of the crop and reducing profi t to $60000. The grower can protect the fruit by spending $5000. Find the expected value of the profi t if the grower does not protect the fruit, and use this to determine which is the better choice.
