Question

The owner of a fast-food restaurant has found the daily demand for ground beef at her restaurant to be normally distributed, with a mean of 240 lb and a standard deviation of 23 lb. Since the fast-food business is very competitive, the manager would like to ensure that sufficient ground beef is available in her restaurant each day so that the probability is no greater than 1% that the day's supply is exhausted. How many pounds of ground beef should the manager have available for use each day?

Thanks for all your help. You all explain it way better than our professor. We don't have to hand this homework in but I still want to know how to do it for our exams...Thanks again.

Weight = 240 + 23*0.01 = 240.23lb
