Answer:

The expected payment by the customer at the checkout is $9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of the product is given as

f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{50}{x^3}       \,\,\,\,\, x\geq 5 } \atop {0}} \right.

Now the expected payment is given as

EP=\int\limits^{10}_{5} {x f(x)} \, dx +\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} {0.8x f(x)} \, dx

Here 0.8 x is used in the second integral because of the discount of 20% i.e. the expected price is 80% of the value such that

\\EP=\int\limits^{10}_{5} {x \frac{50}{x^3}} \, dx +\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} {0.8x \frac{50}{x^3}} \, dx\\\\EP=\int\limits^{10}_{5} {\frac{50}{x^2}} \, dx +\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} {\frac{40}{x^2}} \, dx\\EP=[\frac{50}{-x}]_5^{10} +[\frac{40}{-x}]_{10}^{\infty} \\EP=[\frac{-50}{10}+\frac{50}{5}] +[\frac{-40}{\infty}+\frac{40}{10}]\\\\EP=-5+10+0+4\\EP=9

The expected payment by the customer at the checkout is $9.
