Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Range of data set: 12 - 6 = 6

Given that there is a uniform distribution:

P(6<x<7) = 1/6

P(7<x<8) = 1/6

P(8<x<9) = 1/6

P(9<x<10) = 1/6

P(10<x<11) = 1/6

P(11<x<12) = 1/6

where x is weight loss

Probability that weight loss is more than 10 pounds:

P(10<x<11) + P(11<x<12) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a. $\frac{dT}{dt}=k(T-Tm); T(0)=190$

b. $C_{0}=122$

c. $k=-0.00259$

d. $t=153.39838\\$ minutos

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Newton's law of cooling states that the speed with which a body is cooled is proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of the medium in which it is found. Then, the initial value problem is given by:

$Tm=68$

$\frac{dT}{dt}=k(T-Tm); T(0)=190$

b. The differential equation obtained is a differential equation of separable variables:

$\frac{dT}{T-Tm}=kdt\\\\\int {\frac{dT}{T-Tm}}=\int{kdt}\\\\Ln|T-Tm|=kt+C\\\\T(t)=C_{0}e^{kt}+Tm=C_{0}e^{kt}+68\\\\T(0)=C_{0}e^{k(0)}+68=190\\\\C_{0}=122$
