Cans of lemon juice are supposed to contain 440 ml of juice. It is found that the actual volume of juice in a can is normally distributed with mean 445 ml and standard deviation 3.6 ml.

(i) Find the probability that a randomly chosen can contains less than 440 ml of juice.

(ii) It is found that 94% of the cans contain between (445 - c) ml and (445 + c) ml of juice. Find the value of c.
