A logistics company is responsible for shipping products from a warehouse to five different stores located in different cities. The company has three trucks available with varying weight and volume capacities, and the orders placed by the five different stores all have different weights and volumes. On each truck trip, the truck loads up at the warehouse and then delivers product to at least one of the stores. On a single trip, the truck can deliver product to more than one store before returning to the warehouse to load up another shipment. The costs of traveling from site i to site j are given by the following equation:

Every morning, workers at a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility fill up water containers for the water they may have to use that day in the process. Each time they fill up water containers, they have to test the water to ensure it complies with FDA testing requirements. This testing costs $40. The water itself costs $0.10 per gallon. The required usage of water follows a normal distribution with a mean of 500 gallons and a standard deviation of 25 gallons. If the workers get too much water at the beginning of the day, the excess is poured down the drain since it cannot be used the following day. This disposal comes at no cost. If the amount the water the workers get at the beginning of the day is not enough, they have to go get the exact amount of water still needed. To refill the containers, they have to first complete the testing requirements again, incurring the cost of $40 again (in addition to the $0.10 per gallon). Using the influence diagram attached, build a spreadsheet to answer the next several questions. INFLUENCE DIAGRAM   What is the probability of needing to fill the water containers a second time if they get 530 gallons at the beginning of the day?
