Question

You have decided to stock fewer tomatoes and instead stock more squash. You decided to stock 30 tomatoes each day. About how many sales of tomatoes do you expect to lose each day as a result of this decision to stock more squash?

Answer 1

2 sales

Explanation:

Based on the plot of discrete probability, it can be seen that the distribution is symmetrical and the peak occurs at the stock of 30. If there is a sale of less than 30 such as 20 or 25, the seller is at a loss. Similarly, if the demand is above 30 such as 35 or 40, the seller is also at a loss. Therefore, there is approximately 2 sales to be lost each day based on the decision made by the seller.
