Question

how many tomatoes must be available on any give day so that there is only a 1.5 percent chance that all tomatoes will be sold

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to use the concept of probability. Let's assume that the number of tomatoes sold on any given day follows a normal distribution with a mean of μ and a standard deviation of σ.

We want to find the number of tomatoes, X, such that there is only a 1.5% chance that all tomatoes will be sold. Mathematically, we can write this as:

P(X >= 0) = 1 - P(X
