The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $9.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $20.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $2.50 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 260 boxes with a standard deviation of 41 boxes.
