Question

Transcribed Image Text:A company uses wood chips in the manufacture of processed wood pieces of various sizes. Suppose the tons of wood chips T used per day has a probability
density function
f(T) = 0.25e-0.25T
(a) Find the probability of using more than 4 tons of wood chips in a day. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(b) Find the number of tons 7 (to the nearest ton) so that the probability of using more than 7 tons in a day is 0.07.
