Every home football game for the past 8 years at Southwestern University has been sold out. The revenues from ticket sales are significant, but the sale of food, beverages, and souvenirs has contributed greatly to the overall profitability of the football program. One particular souvenir is the football program for each game. The number of programs sold at each game is described by the probability distribution given in the following table.


NUMBERS OF PROGRAMS SOLD	PROBABILITY
$2,300$	$0.15$
$2,400$	$0.22$
$2,500$	$0.24$
$2,600$	$0.21$
$2,700$	$0.18$

Each program costs $\$ .80$ to produce and sells for $\$ 2.00$ . Any programs that are not sold are donated to a recycling center and do not produce any revenue.

If the university decided to print $2,500$ programs for each game, what would the average profits be for the 10 games that were simulated?
