Answer:
a) 15.87% probability that demand will exceed this supply on any winter Saturday
b) The shop needs to have 197 pairs of skis in stock.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
(a) The rental shop stocks 170 pairs of skis. What is the probability that demand will exceed this supply on any winter Saturday?
This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 150. So
has a pvalue of 0.8413
1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587
15.87% probability that demand will exceed this supply on any winter Saturday
(b) How many pairs of skis in stock does the shop have to have to make the probability in question (a) less than .01?
This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99.
So X when Z = 2.33
Rounding up, since the number of pairs is a discrete number
The shop needs to have 197 pairs of skis in stock.
