Final answer:

The expected daily demand for computers at a local store requires the mean of the provided probability distribution, calculated by summing the product of each demand value and its associated probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the expected daily demand of computers at a store, which involves calculating the mean of a probability distribution. In mathematics, particularly in statistics, the expected value E(X) of a discrete random variable X is the sum of the probability of each possible outcome of the experiment multiplied by the outcome value (i.e., E(X) = Σ xipi, where xi is an outcome and pi is the probability of that outcome). To provide an accurate response, the actual probability distribution must be provided, as the expected value calculation depends on the specific probabilities and associated values of the random variable representing the daily demand for the computers.
