You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. An event hall that hosts public lectures, book readings, poetry slams, and other similar events uses a one-week periodic review inventory system for the throat lozenges that it stocks for its patrons. A two-day lead time is needed for any order, and the event hall is willing to tolerate an average of one stock-out per year. (a) Using the event hall's service guideline, what is the probability of a stock-out associated with each replenishment decision? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is normally distributed with a mean of 50 units and a standard deviation of 12 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) (c) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is uniformly distributed between 45 and 95 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
