Alex can only use one of the above four possible options. Each product requires 3 square feet of storage space. Alex reviews his forthcoming 20XX production contracts and projects the following possible production outcomes and their associated probabilities:
Probability (20XX production is 288 toys)=0.40
Probability (2022 production is 375 toys)=0.35
Probability (2022 production is 580 toys)=0.25
