Description
A futuristic situation is envisioned where a provider of movies online has to negotiate with a studio the distribution of a movie. The decision boils down to the choice between two alternative license arrangements: a fixed payment and a variable payment. The variable payment requires the elicitation of the (continuous) probability distribution of sales by means of five percentiles.
Learning Objective
Introduction to continuous probability distributions.
