As a manager of a small software retailing company, you are concerned with projected profit next year. While profit can be determined as the difference between sales and maintenance cost, or in symbols, P = S - M, where P is profit, S is sales, and M is maintenance cost including technical support. It is argues that when sales goes up so does maintenance cost because the cost of technical support will go up. Further, it is measured that the correlation between S and M is 0.8. Now given the figure that sales next year is expected to be $300 thousand with standard deviation of $4 thousand and maintenance cost is expected to be $150 thousand with standard deviation of $6 thousand, what would be the expected profit and its standard deviation you will include in your report?
