mean is 175
standard deviation is 55.
that's the monthly demand.
the number of recorder necessary to keep on inventory to meet 85% of the demand is equal to 232 when rounded to the nearest integer.
here's the results from use of the statistical calculator that can be found at http://davidmlane.com/hyperstat/z_table.html
