Calculate the probability of obtaining sales ..... for example less than US $ 500 or between US $ 500 and US $ 1,000 or more than US $ from US $ 1,000 2. How to pose and solve the classic problem of the "newspaper seller 3. How can you optimize the uncertainty or risk of selling products? Cheers,

Re: Calculate the probability of obtaining sales

On Wiki there is the following example:

newspaper-problem.PNGnewspaper-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.
