Mike Mochado is the head barrista at John's Java & Jerk, a local cafe serving coffee, cold beverages, and food items with a Carribbean flair. Mike's big concern at the moment is deciding how many pounds of coffee beans he'll need for the week. The guy from corporate told Mike to assume that coffee bean usage is normally distributed. On the basis of the cafe's first 20 weeks of operation, Mike has determined that his average weekly coffee bean usage is 153.75 pounds, with a standard deviation of 55.35 pounds.
How many pounds of coffee beans should Mike have on hand to be 95.9 % sure that he'll have enough beans?

A student eamed grades of B, C, A, B, and D. Those courses had these corresponding numbers of credit hours: 4, 3, 4, 3, and 2. The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as follows: A=4, B=3: C=2; D= 1; F=0. Compute
the grade-point average (GPA). If the dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or greater, did this student make the dean's list?
The student's GPA is
