- You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Wood Watercolors is a commercial art gallery that uses a four-week periodic review system to reorder paintings for its showrooms. A one-week lead time is required to fill the order. Demand for one particular style of painting during the five-week replenishment period is normally distributed with a mean of 26 units and a standard deviation of 10 units. (a) At a particular periodic review, 16 units are in inventory. The curator places an order for 20 units. What is the probability that this style of painting will have a stock-out before an order that is placed at the next four-week review period arrives? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

- LO3-2, 3-4, 3-5 6. Consider the following production process for manufacturing biscuits. The first step of the process is mixing, where all of the ingredients are combined in the correct proportion to form dough. In the next step of the process, the dough is formed into sheets and cut into pieces in preparation for baking. The cut dough is then baked into biscuits and subsequently must be cooled. The final step of the process is packaging the biscuits for the consumer. The following table summarizes the production process along with the processing times at each step of the process. The process is highly automated, so assume that this is a machine-paced process with one machine available at each step.
