Distribution of the number of guests coming to the party is normal with the mean 100 and the standard deviation 10. They need to determine how many guests to book for food from a caterer. The caterer makes the following charges: $50 for each guest that is booked in advance; $90 for each guest who is not booked in advance but shows up on the wedding day. The caterer does not offer any refund even if some booked guests may not show up. Questions: What is the optimal number of guests to book in advance? How much Sarah can save by booking the optimal quantity from a) in advance? What is the expected number of guests that will come to their wedding? If Sarah and her fiancé book 90 guests in advance with the caterer, what is the probability of stock out? If Sarah and her fiancé book 100 guests in advance with the caterer, what is the expected number of meals to be wasted?arrow_forwardAccording to a government study among adults in the 25 to 34-year age group, the mean amount spent per year on reading and entertainment is $1,994.
