Homework Problem 6

You work for All-Care Medical Supply Company which provides medical supplies to pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and independent physicians throughout Central Florida. As part of your new duties you need to purchase exam gloves for resale. Your predecessor in this position just ordered 1,200 cases of gloves a week. This ordering system sometimes leads to back orders (orders that can not be immediately filled) and times when you have too many gloves on hand. You have decided that it is time to figure how many cases of exam gloves you actually sell per week and to adjust your orders to meet the expected sales. The numbers of cases of exam gloves sold per week for the past 24 weeks is given below.
