Exam 3: Describing Data: Numerical Measures

A bottling company offers three kinds of delivery service - instant,same day and within five days.The profit per delivery varies according to the kind of delivery.The profit for an instant delivery is less than the other kinds because the driver has to go directly to a grocery store with a small load and return to the bottling plant.To find out what effect each type of delivery has on the profit picture,the company summarized the data in the following table based on deliveries for the previous quarter. What is the weighted mean profit per delivery?
