John knows that monthly demand for his product follows a normal distribution with a mean of 2,500 units and a standard deviation of 425 units. Given this, please provide the following answers for John.
a. What is the probability that in a given month demand is less than 3,000 units?
b. What is the probability that in a given month demand is greater than 2,200 units?
c. What is the probability that in a given month demand is between 2,200 and 3,000 units?
d. What is the probability that demand will exceed 5,000 units next month?
e. If John wants to make sure that he meets monthly demand with production output at least 95% of the time. What is the minimum he should produce each month?
a)
µ = 2500
σ = 425
left tailed
X ≤ 3000
Z = (X - µ ) / σ = 1.18
P(X ≤ 3000 ) = P(Z ≤
1.18 ) = 0.8803 [ excel
formula =normsdist(0.8803)
b)
µ = 2500
σ = 425
right tailed
X ≥ 2200
Z = (X - µ ) / σ = -0.71
P(X ≥ 2200 ) = P(Z ≥
-0.71 ) = P ( Z <
0.71 ) = 0.7599 [ excel
formula =normsdist(0.71)
c)
µ = 2500
σ = 425
we need to calculate probability for ,
2200 ≤ X ≤ 3000
X1 = 2200 , X2 =
3000
Z1 = (X1 - µ ) / σ = -0.706
Z2 = (X2 - µ ) / σ = 1.176
P ( 2200 < X <
3000 ) = P (
-0.705882353 < Z < 1.176
)
= P ( Z < 1.176 ) - P ( Z
< -0.706 ) =
0.8803 - 0.2401 =
0.6402
d)
µ = 2500
σ = 425
right tailed
X ≥ 5000
Z = (X - µ ) / σ = 5.88
P(X ≥ 5000 ) = P(Z ≥
5.88 ) = P ( Z <
-5.88 ) = 0.0000
e)
µ = 2500
σ = 425
proportion= 0.95
Z value at 0.95 =
1.645 (excel formula =NORMSINV(α))
z=(x-µ)/σ
so, X=zσ+µ= 1.645 *
425 + 2500
X = 3199.06
so, he should produce minimum 3199.06 units each
month

14. The monthly demand for the latest computer at Newland Computers follows a normal distribution with a mean of 350 and standard deviation of 75. Newland purchases these computers for $1,200 and sells them for $2,300. It costs the com pany $100 to place an order and $12 for every computer held in inventory at the end of each month. Currently, the company places an order for 1,000 computers whenever the inventory at the end of a month falls below...
Suppose the daily demand of a product follows a normal distribution with the mean of 50 units and the standard deviation of 10 units. Lead time is 9 days. The ordering cost is $400 per order, and the inventory holding cost is $20 per unit per year. A cycle service level (probability of no stockout) of 95% is required. Using the fixed order quantity model, what is the reorder point? 500 450 O 720 630 MRP is a technique designed...

2. 12 points Bjorn, a member of ABBA, knows that X (which is the amount an ABBA song brightens or worsens a person's day) has a Normal distribution with a mean of 0... and he's OK with that. What he wants to learn more about is the precision of X, which is the inverse of the variance. Bjorn thinks that the precision has a Gamma distribution as described below. Help Bjorn out by finding the posterior distribution for the percision....
