In some small markets, Bob's Big Boy sells fried chicken in the evenings in small towns where there is not many options for residents to buy their excellent product. Since fried chicken is not their main market, they must decide each day how much chicken they will sell that day. According to their menu, they sell fried chicken from 4:30 pm through 8:00 pm. To keep it simple, Bob's Big Boy sells an order of chicken for $5.00. Each order of chicken costs them $4.00 to buy, cook, and package. Since the chicken isn't able to be kept the next day, it is simply given to employees. Based on past history, Bob's Big Boy estimates that they can sell 400 orders of chickens in an average day with a standard deviation of 200 orders.
