Answer:

If a component received by the manufacturer is defective, the probability that it was produced at plant A is 0.5385 = 53.85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Bayes Theorem to solve this question.

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Defective component

Event B: Produced at plant A.

Plant A produces 70% of the components used

This means that P(B) = 0.7

Among the components produced at plant A, the proportion of defective components is 1%.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.01

Probability of a defective component:

1% of 70%(defective at plant A)

2% of 100 - 70 = 30%(defective at plant B). So

P(A) = 0.01*0.7 + 0.02*0.3 = 0.013

If a component received by the manufacturer is defective, the probability that it was produced at plant A is

P(B|A) = \frac{0.7*0.01}{0.013} = 0.5385

If a component received by the manufacturer is defective, the probability that it was produced at plant A is 0.5385 = 53.85%.

Newton's law of cooling is:
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

t = \frac{ln(\frac{21}{59})}{-0.15}=6.887 hr

So it would takes approximately 6.9 hours to reach 32 F.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following differential equationÑ

\frac{du}{dt}= -k (u-T)

We can reorder the expression like this:

\frac{du}{u-T} = -k dt

We can use the substitution w = u-T and dw =du so then we have:

\frac{dw}{w} =-k dt

IF we integrate both sides we got:

ln |w| = -kt +C

If we apply exponential in both sides we got:

w = e^{-kt} *e^c

And if we replace w = u-T we got:

u(t)= T + C_1 e^{-kt}

We can also express the solution in the following terms:

u(t) = (T_i -T_{amb}) e^{kt} +T_{amb}

For this case we know that k =-0.15 hr since w ehave a cooloing, T_{i}= 70 F, T_{amb}=11F, we have this model:

u(t) = (70-11) e^{-0.15t} +11

And if we want that the temperature would be 32F we can solve for t like this:

32 = 59 e^{-0.15 t} +11

21=59 e^{-0.15 t}

\frac{21}{59} = e^{-0.15 t}

If we apply natural logs on both sides we got:

ln (\frac{21}{59}) =-0.15 t

t = \frac{ln(\frac{21}{59})}{-0.15}=6.887 hr

So it would takes approximately 6.9 hours to reach 32 F.
