The Life coffee shop encounters normally distributed weekly demand with an average of 300 paper cups and a standard deviation of 75 cups per week. Each cup costs $10. Ordering costs are $15 per order (regardless of the number of cups ordered), and the order arrives one week after the coffee shop places it with the cup supplier.
