CGI is getting ready to market their Internet-based party planning service. One of the menu items is a kabob. The kabob was designed to have four vegetable chunks and three chunks of protein: beef, chicken, shrimp or tofu. On average, any vegetable will yield 5 chunks suitable for a kabob. One of any ten vegetables will be of poor quality and cannot be used. In presenting a menu and budget to a party-thrower, CGI recommends two kabobs per person.

A) How should CGI plan their kabob assembly? Develop a sketch of the workplace.

B) For a 200-attendee party, how many vegetables must be purchased?

C) CGI also offers a statistical modeling program that prevents food waste. They have data that recommends a mean number of party attenders as well as metrics on variability. Imagine you are planning an event with CGI. They suggest the number of party-attenders for a 200 person party estimate is actually distributed N(150, 1225). They also recommend using a probability of 90 percent for attendees. If CGI charges you $100 per attendee, how much does their recommendation save you?

D) Referring to C above, would you take their recommendation? Why or why not?
