Daily demand for fresh cauliflower in the ZZ-Warehouse store follows normal distribution with mean 100 cartons and s.d. 20 cartons.

QUESTION 35 O 100 O 80 O 95 O 110 O 105
Expert Answer
For items sold,
Profit is $70-$50= $20
For item’s not sold,
Loss is $20-$50 = – $30
As mean is 100 and s.d. is 20.
As loss is higher than profit, one would order less
