Goop Inc needs to order a raw material to make a special polymer. The demand for the polymer is forecasted to be Normally distributed with a mean of 250 gallons and a standard deviation of 125 gallons. Goop sells the polymer for $25 per gallon. Goops purchases raw material for $10 per gallon and Goop must spend $5 per gallon to dispose of all unused raw material due to government regulations. If demand is more than Goop can make, then Goop sells only what they made and the rest of demand is lost.
Suppose Goop wants to ensure that there is a 92% probability that they will be able to satisfy the customer's entire demand. How many gallons of the raw material should they purchase? *Use Table 13.4 and round your answer to the nearest integer.
