Question

Henrique Correa's bakery prepares all its cakes
between 4 A.M. and 6 A.M. so they will be fresh when customers
arrive. Day-old cakes are virtually always sold, but at a 50% discount
ofT the regular $ 10 price. The cost of baking a cake is $6, and
demand is estimated to be normally distributed, with a mean of25
and a standard deviation of 4. What is the optimal stocking level?

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.
