Ate Guy sells a particular model of fans, with most of the sales being made in the summer months. Ate Guy makes a one-time purchase of the fans prior to each summer season at a cost of P40 each and sells each fan for P60. Any fans unsold at the end of the summer season are marked down to P29 and sold in a special rainy season sale. Virtually all marked-down fans are sold. The following is the number of sales of fans during the past summers: 30, 50, 30, 60, 10, 40, 30, 30, 20, 40. (a) Estimate the mean and variance of the demand for fans each summer. (b) Assume that the demand for fans each summer follows a normal distribution, with mean and variance given by what you obtained in (a). Determine the optimal number of fans for Ate Guy to buy prior to each summer season.
