Answer:

Option (C) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable denoting the amount of gunpowder in the shop be 'x'.

x ~ N(20, 2) i.e. (x-20)/2 ~ (0, 1)

Let 'a' be the amount (in pounds) of gunpowder to stock in inventory.

Thus, P(x<a) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

i.e. P[(x-20)/2<(a-20)/2] = 0.98

i.e. ф [(a-2)/2] = 0.98

i.e. (a-20)/2 = ф⁻¹ (0.98) = 2.054

i.e. a = 20 + (2 × 2.054) = 24.108 ≈ 24 pounds

24 pounds of gunpowder to stock in inventory.

Option (C) 24
