What is the probability-run out of raw material


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: Goop Inc. needs to order a raw material to make a special polymer. The demand for the polymer is forecasted to be Normally distributed with a mean of 250 gallons and a standard deviation of 80 gallons. Goop sells the polymer for $25 per gallon. Goop's purchases raw material for $10 per gallon and Goop must spend $5 per gallon to dispose of all unused raw material due to government regulations. (Assume one gallon of raw material yields one gallon of polymer with no extra cost.) If demand is more than Goop can make, then Goop sells only what they made and the rest of the demand is lost. Suppose Goop purchases 150 gallons of raw material. What is the probability that they will run out of raw material?
