The total daily sales, x, in the deli section of a local market is the sum of the sales generated by a fixed number of customers who make purchases on a given day.
a. What kind of probability distribution do you expect the total daily sales to have? Explain.
b. For this particular market, the average sale per customer in the deli section is $8.50 with σ = $2.50. If 30 customers make deli purchases on a given day, give the mean and standard deviation of the probability distribution of the total daily sales, x.
