Florence's Flowers sells bouquets of flowers near the entrance to a subway station. Florence must purchase fresh flowers each morning, at a cost of $5 per bouquet. She sells them for $20 over the course of the day. At the end of the day, she must dispose of the unsold bouquets by selling them to a discount florist for a price of $2. a) What service level will maximize her expected profits? Florence's best estimate of the distribution of demand...

Sally owns a food truck and sells lunch either in her home town or at a local resort. Lunch sales are dependent on the Mocation and daily weather. When she sells lunches at the resort, the profit is $160 per day when the weather is fair, $20 per day when the weather is foul. When she sells lunches in her home town, profits will be $80 when the weather is fair and $55 in when the weather is foul. For...

The number of gallons of paint that Home Depot sells in a given day is normally distributed with a mean of 160 gallons and a standard deviation of 55 gallons (I realize that the distribution is probably different for weekends compared to weekdays, but just assume everyday has the distribution). What is the probability that on a randomly chosen day, Home Depot sells more than 220 gallons of paint? (please round your answer to 4 decimal places)

The number of gallons of paint that Home Depot sells in a given day is normally distributed with a mean of 160 gallons and a standard deviation of 35 gallons ( I really that the distribution is probably different for weekends compared to weekdays, but just assume everyday has the distribution). In a sample of 80 days, what is the probability that the average number of gallons sold will be 165 or less?

More Used Car Sales A used car dealership uses past data to estimate the probability distribution for the number of cars they sell in a day. The probability distribution of X is given in the table below. Cars sold in a day x 0 1 2 3 4 p(x) 0.25 0.31 0.2 0.15 0.09 What is the probability that the dealership sells no cars on three consecutive days? (Assume daily sales are independent.) Round your answer to four decimal places.
