The University of Miami bookstore stocks textbooks in preparation for sales each semester. It normally relies on departmental forecasts and preregistration records to determine how many copies of a text are needed. Preregistration shows 95 operations management students enrolled, but bookstore manager Vaidy Jayaraman has second thoughts, based on his intuition and some historical evidence. Vaidy believes that the distribution of sales may range from 75 to 95 units, according to the following probability model: Demand 75 80 85 90 95 Probability 0.05 0.20 0.30 0.10 0.35 This textbook costs the bookstore $65 and sells for $90. Any unsold copies can be returned to the publisher, less a restocking fee and shipping, for a net refund of $40.
