2 sales

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the plot of discrete probability, it can be seen that the distribution is symmetrical and the peak occurs at the stock of 30. If there is a sale of less than 30 such as 20 or 25, the seller is at a loss. Similarly, if the demand is above 30 such as 35 or 40, the seller is also at a loss. Therefore, there is approximately 2 sales to be lost each day based on the decision made by the seller.
