The label on a bottle of liquid detergent shows contents to be 12 ounces per bottle. The production operation fills the bottle uniformly according to the following probability density function:f(x) = 8 for 11.975 ≤ x ≤ 12.100andf(x) = 0 elsewhere
a. What is the probability that a bottle will be filled with 12.02 or more ounces?b. What is the probability that a bottle will be filled between 12 and 12.05 ounces?c. Quality control accepts production that is within .02 ounces of number of ounces shown on the container label. What is the probability that a bottle of this liquid detergent will fail to meet the quality control standard?
Particles are a major component of air pollution in many areas. It is of interest to study the sizes of contaminating particles. Let X represent the diameter, in micrometers, of a randomly chosen particle. Assume that in a certain area, the probability density function of X is inversely proportional to the volume of the particle; that is, assume that
f(x) = {c/x3 x≥1
0 x<1
where c is a constant.
1. The term PM10 refers to particles 10 μm or less in diameter. What proportion of the contaminating particles are PM10? (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)2. The term PM2.5 refers to particles 2.5 μm or less in diameter. What proportion of the contaminating particles are PM2.5? (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)
3. What proportion of the PM10 particles are PM2.5? (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
