Healthy Goods is a grocery and natural products store in Boulder, Colorado. Kenneth Scott founded Healthy Goods ten years ago. He is really proud of how his business has grown over the years and of the great relationships he has established with local suppliers. His daughter, Evelyn, is currently enrolled in the MicroMasters in Supply Chain Management program and she believes it is time to focus on improving operations. Particularly, she would like to have a better grasp of the weekly demand distribution of different products in order to improve inventory management. She has decided to start by analyzing the demand for apples. She believes that weekly demand for apples follows a uniform distribution with a minimum value of 27 pounds and a maximum of 56 pounds. Evelyn's favorite product in the store is the carrot cookie. Healthy Goods started selling carrot cookies just a few months ago, and they have not kept track of the sell out data. Evelyn has been chatting with a few of the cashiers to get a sense of the overall demand for carrot cookies. The cashiers told her the store usually sells around 104 carrot cookies per week, although during the best selling week they can recall 244 carrot cookies were sold, and during a bad week only 50 cookies were sold. If they plan to have 85 cookies in inventory every week, what would be the probability of not fulfilling all the weekly demand? Enter your answer as a decimal number with four decimal places (e.g. if the probability is 76.0483%, write 0.7605 in the answer box)
