You work at a bank and are asked to recommend the amount of cash to put in an ATM each day. You don’t want to put in too much (security) or too little (customer irritation).

(b) If you put $9000 in the ATM each day, what percent of the days in a month should you expect to run out of cash? Explain your reasoning. (c) If you are willing to run out of cash for 10% of the days, how much cash, in hundreds of dollars, should you put in the ATM each day? Explain your reasoning.
