The AMA must pay the $50 room costeven if the room is not occupied. The AMA believes that thenumber of doctors attending the convention will be normallydistributed, with a mean of 5,000 and a standard deviationof 1,000. If the number of people attending the conventionexceeds the number of rooms reserved, extra rooms must bereserved at a cost of $80 per room.
