Given a student discount, calculate a discounted price.

This question assesses

• the students ability to apply both theoretical and experimental probability to calculate expected values 
• the students understanding of how to calculate the relative frequency of an outcome

The question also helps to show students how using experimental probability and theoretical probability results in different expected values of an outcome.
