1. Farmers often sell fruits and vegetables at roadside stands during the summer. One such roadside stand has a daily demand for tomatoes that is approximately normally distributed with a mean equal to 135 tomatoes per day and a standard deviation equal to 30 tomatoes per day. How many tomatoes must be available on any given day so that there is only a 1.5% chance that all tomatoes will be sold?
