Also, the historical data given, while relatively large, is still a sample from an entire year. So, when you compute the necessary standard deviations of demand and of lead times, calculate standard deviations of a sample, not a population.
When using Excel use the STDEV.S function (not STDEV.P). When using a calculator, divide by the sample size minus one (n-1); (for a population you divide by the population size (N)). That is, compute the standard deviations as:
