Problem
A machine squeezes apples to extract their juice. The volume of juice, J ml, extracted from 1 kg of apples is modelled by a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ
Given that μ=500 and σ=25 use standardisation to
(a) (i) show that P(J>510)=0.3446
(2)
(ii) calculate the value of d such that P(J>d)=0.9192
(3)
Zen randomly selects 5 bags each containing 1 kg of apples and records the volume of juice extracted from each bag of apples.
(b) Calculate the probability that each of the 5 bags of apples produce less than 510 ml of juice.
(2)
Following adjustments to the machine, the volume of juice, R ml, extracted from 1 kg of apples is such that μ=520 and σ=k
Given that P(R<r)=0.15 and P(R>3r−800)=0.005
(c) find the value of r and the value of k

P(J>d)=0.9192,所以左侧概率是 0.0808,对应 z≈−1.4。
答题过程
展开
Since
P(J>d)=0.9192,
we have
P(J<d)=0.0808.
So
25d−500=−1.4.
Hence
d=500−1.4(25)=465.
(b)

每袋少于 510 ml 的概率是 1−0.3446。5 袋都少于 510 ml,要把这个概率乘 5 次。

P(all 5 bags produce less than 510)==(1−0.3446)50.1209…
Therefore the probability is
0.121
to 3 significant figures.
(c)

思路

把两个概率条件分别转成标准正态方程。P(R<r)=0.15 给出 z=−1.0364;P(R>3r−800)=0.005 表示左侧概率为 0.995,给出 z=2.5758。
答题过程

From
P(R<r)=0.15,
we get
kr−520=−1.0364.
So
r=520−1.0364k.
Also,
P(R>3r−800)=0.005
means
P(R<3r−800)=0.995.
Thus
k3r−800−520=2.5758.
Substitute r=520−1.0364k:
k3(520−1.0364k)−1320=k240−3.1092k=240−3.1092k=240=k=2.57582.57582.5758k5.6850k42.216…
Then
r==520−1.0364(42.216…)476.246…
Therefore
k=42.2,r=476
to 3 significant figures.
