Question

A new restaurant in North Van is introducing the concept of spicy beef in a sandwich. The owners, Capilano students’
alumni, have estimated the daily consumption of beef to be normally distributed with μ = 24 pounds and σ = 6
pounds. They need your help not to purchase too much beef nor too little.
a. Determine the amount of beef the owners should buy so that it meets demand on 90% of the days.
b. How much should the owners buy if they want to meet demand on 99% of the days?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
