4. A canning company that cans pineapple juice has a machine that automatically fills 16-ounce cans. From quality control data it was found that the average amount of pineapple juice dispensed into the cans was sixteen ounces with a standard deviation of one ounce.

6. A rock crushing company has three plants, all receiving blasted rocks in bulk. The amount of rocks that can be crushed by one of the plants in one day can be modeled by an exponential distribution. The mean amount of rocks that can be crushed per day by each plant is 4 tons. Assume that the plants operate independently of each other. How many tons of blasted rocks should be stored at any of the plants per day such that the probability of running out of blasted rocks to crush is 0.05?
Answer: 11.98 tons
7. A certain electronic system has a life with an exponential distribution and with mean of 1000 hours. This system is supported by an identical system.
