The intent is to provide easy access for their clients by having the office open 360 days per year, 16 hours each day from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The office would be staffed by a lawyer, paralegal, legal secretary, and clerk-receptionist for each of the two 8-hour shifts. In order to determine the feasibility of the project, John hired a marketing consultant to assist with market projections. The results of this study show that if the firm spends $500,000 on advertising the first year, the number of new clients expected each day would have the following probability distribution: Number of New Clients per Day Probability 20 0.10 30 0.30 55 0.40 85 0.20 John and his associates believe these numbers are reasonable and are prepared to spend the $500,000 on advertising.
