    Then this is the expected price for the weekly shipment of rats = 13.25

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Suppose the price for the shipment of rats are as follow

    price 10 12.50 15

    and probability may be

    0.2 0.3 0.5

    then the expected value is equal to

    =10 * 0.2 + 12.50 * 0.3 + 15 * 0.5

    =13.25

    then this is the expected price for the weekly shipment of rats
