Re: Calculate the probability of obtaining sales

On Wiki there is the following example:

newspaper-problem.PNG

This is the associated JSL code:

mu = 50;
sd = 20;
retailPrice = 7;
purchasePrice = 5;
quantity = normal quantile( (retailPrice-purchasePrice)/retailPrice, mu, sd);

This is the calculation for optimal quantity, not probability which is what you asked for, but maybe points you in the right direction.
