Suppose a retailer has two markets, 1 and 2. demand 1 follows normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 12.4. demand 2 follows normal distribution with mean 110 and standard deviation 16.7. the retailer needs to know the mean and standard deviation of the TOTAL demand. please describe the conceptual analysis process to find out these two parameters by using simulation
D1 = 100
SD1 = 12.4
D2 = 110
SD2 = 16.7
We all know that variance follow additive property, hence the Standard Deviation of Difference = sqrt(SD22 - SD12 )= 11.186
The new Mean will follow the midpoint theorem and hence will be = (D2 - D1)/2 = 5
Let X1 be a point on first Normal Distribution and X2 be a corresponding point on second normal distribution at same z value.
The difference between these two discrete points will be - X2 - X1
Let that difference be X which is equal to X2-X1
We know Z value on a normal curve = (X - Mean)/Std Dev. Thus in our case, Z = (X - 5)/11.186
or X = 11.186*Z + 5
Now Calculate X for all possible values of Z (for simplicity use range -4 to +4 in a period of 0.25)
Obtain the points of normal distribution by using Norm.dist function with above obtained all possible values of X as first argument, Mean of Difference as second, Std Dev of Difference as Thirds and False in fourth for PDF)
Plot the above obtained points of normal distribution with their corresponding Z values and obtain the required difference normal curve.

The profits from sales of a product depend on demand, which follows a normal distribution. The demand in week 1 has a distribution with mean 1000 and standard deviation 100. The demand in week 2 has mean 1010. a) Suppose that the standard deviation of demand in week 2 is 100. Explain why or why not the profit in week 2 stochastically dominates the profit in week 1.
9. A product's demand over (/+ 1) periods follows a normal distribution with mean of 80 and standard deviation of 20. The order-up-to level is 100. What is the in-stock probability? 01 O 0.8413 。0.5987 O 0.3413
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...
Suppose that X follows a normal distribution with a mean of 850 and a standard deviation of 100. Find P(823<X<917).
1. If Y has a normal distribution with mean 116 and standard deviation 16, find P(Y < 87). Enter your answer as a decimal, not a percent. For example, if the answer is 0.3161, enter 0.3161, NOT 31.61%. 2. It takes two days for a coffee shop to receive a shipment of milk from its supplier (this time is called "lead time" in operations management). During those three days, milk demand, Y, follows a normal distribution with a mean of...
suppose X follows a normal distribution with mean of 19 and standard deviation of 3.6. write excel function for calculating the following probability. P(14
1. Suppose a variable has a normal distribution with mean 10 and standard deviation 2. Use the Empirical Rule to calculate the approximate PERCENTAGE area. What is the PERCENTAGE of values ABOVE 12? Note: Enter X.XX AT LEAST ONE DIGIT BEFORE THE DECIMAL, TWO AFTER and round up. Thus, 27 is entered as 27.00, 3.5 is entered as 3.50, 0.3750 is entered as 0.38 |Enter PERCENTAGE in above blank with NO % sign. | 2. Suppose a variable has a...
Suppose that the sat math score (in a certain region) follows a normal distribution with mean 560 and standard deviation 90. You are going to take the test. Find your lowest score if you want to be among the top 10%
Question 1 (0.5 points) A random variable X follows a normal distribution with mean of 50 and standard deviation of 5. Suppose we take a simple random sample of size 6 from the population above. Can we calculate the probability that the sample mean is between 45 and 60? (You do not need to actually calculate the probability for this question.) Yes, and the calculated probability would be exact. Yes, and the calculated probability would be approximate. No. Question 2...
