Charlie's Pizza orders all of its pepperoni, olives, anchovies, and mozzarella cheese to be shipped directly from Italy. An American distributor stops by every 8 weeks to take orders. Because the orders are shipped directly from Italy, they take 7 weeks to arrive.
Charlie's Pizza uses an average of 240 pounds of pepperoni each week, with a standard deviation of 18 pounds. Charlie's prides itself on offering only the best-quality ingredients and a high level of service, so it wants to ensure a 95 percent probability of not stocking out on pepperoni.
Required:
Assume that the sales representative just walked in the door and there are currently 440 pounds of pepperoni in the walk-in cooler. How many pounds of pepperoni would you order?
