Answer: Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Economics:

Probability of placing it with a major publisher(pm) = 0.5 for selling(sm) = 40,000 copies

Probability of placing it with a smaller publisher(ps) = 0.8 for selling(ss) = 30,000 copies

Therefore,

Expected value (Economics) = pm × sm + pm(ps × ss)

                                               = 0.5 × 40,000 + 0.5(0.8 × 30,000)

                                               = 32,000 copies
