Question
Coffee and doughnuts At a certain coffee shop, all the
customers buy a cup of coffee; some also buy a dough-
nut. The shop owner believes that the number of cups
he sells each day is normally distributed with a mean of
320 cups and a standard deviation of 20 cups. He also
believes that the number of doughnuts he sells each day
is independent of the coffee sales and is normally distrib-
uted with a mean of 150 doughnuts and a standard devia-
tion of 12.
a) The shop is open every day but Sunday. Assuming
day-to-day sales are independent, what’s the probabil-
ity he’ll sell over 2000 cups of coffee in a week?
b) If he makes a profit of 50 cents on each cup of cof-
fee and 40 cents on each doughnut, can he reasonably
expect to have a day’s profit of over $300? Explain.
c) What’s the probability that on any given day he’ll
sell a doughnut to more than half of his coffee
customers?
