The two largest cable providers are Comcast Cable Communications, with 21.5 million subscribers, and Time Warner Cable, with 11.0 million subscribers (The New York Times Almanac, 2007). Suppose that the management of Time Warner Cable subjectively assesses a
| x | f(x) |
| 100,000 | .10 |
| 200,000 | .20 |
| 300,000 | .25 |
