A food stand can sell either fruit juice or hot coffee on any given day. If the stand sells fruit juice and the weather is hot, it will make P20,000; if the weather is cold, the profit will be P8,000. If the stand sells hot coffee and the weather is hot, it will make P15,000; if the weather is cold, the profit will be P25,000. The probability of hot weather on a given day at this time is 45%. What is the expected expected profit for selling hot coffee?
