Question:

6.33 A pumping station operator observes that the demand for water at a certain hour of the day can be modeled as an exponential random variable with a mean of 100 cfs (cubic feet per second).

a Find the probability that the demand will exceed 200 cfs on a randomly selected day.

b What is the maximum water-producing capacity that the station should keep on line for this hour so that the demand will exceed this production capacity with a probability of only 0.01?
