Question

Martina is in charge of ordering brake pads for an auto shop. The daily demand for brake pads is normally distributed with an average of 40 brake pads and a standard deviation of 8 break pads. Currently, it takes 4 days between when Martina places an order for new brake pads and when the order is received. Currently, Martina orders new break pads when there are 184 break pads left in stock.

1) What is the average demand during lead time?

2) What is the standard deviation of demand during lead time?

3)What is the service level provided by Martina's auto shop?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
