Jane Tarheel is producing “Beat Dook” T-shirts to see outside the Dean Dome before the big game. She plans to sell the t-shirts, which cost her $6 to make, for $12. Rose’s Department Store has offered to purchase any leftover t-shirts for $2. Jane isn’t sure how much demand will exist for her shirts, but she knows it will be between 100 and 300 shirts. Lacking any better information, she assume any value within that range is equally likely (i.e., demand is distributed uniformly between 100 and 300). How many shirts should Jane produce?
