A small grocery store sells fresh produce, which it obtains from a local farmer. During the strawberry season, demand for fresh strawberries can be reasonably approximated using a normal distribution with a mean of 44 quarts per day and a standard deviation of 5 quarts per day. Excess costs run .50 cents per quart. The grocer orders 49 quarts per day.
