A manager wants to determine how many copies of a particular magazine that he should purchase each week.  A study of historical data shows that demand is normally distributed with a mean = 11.73 and a standard deviation of 4.74.  The manager purchases the magazines for 25 cents and can salvage unsold copies for 10 cents.  The price of the magazine that he charges to the customer is 75 cents a copy.
