Iron Burr operates a booth which sells specialty merchandise at the State Fair. This year he is planning to sell t-shirts which are inscribed: THE STATE FAIR FOR EVERYONE The price of the t-shirts is $25.00 each. Mr Burr buys plain white t-shirts from a factory at a cost of $864 per gross (144 shirts), with a 3% discount for payment within 10 days, which he always takes. Mr Burr inscribes the design on the t-shirts, himself, and estimates that his labor is worth $4.00 per shirt. Unsold t-shirts are useless, but can be sold to a scrap dealer for $0.16 per pound; there are eight t-shirts in a pound. The number of t-shirts which will be sold at the State Fair is, of course, unknown. But, based on previous experience, Mr Burr estimates that the mean sales are 3 gross, and that the probability of selling more than 3 gross decreases as the quantity increases. Use the following cumulative distribution to determine number of gross of t-shirt that Mr Burr should prepare for the State Fair and the profits excluding Mr Burr's labor.

Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
