This phenomenon is modeled with a differential equation,

and that equation may be solved to give

T(t) = TA + [To-TA]b¹

where T(t) is the varying temperature of the object at a given time, t, TA is the surrounding ambient temperature, To is the initial temperature of the object, and b is a constant that depends on the material the object is composed of and how fast it heats or cools.

Suppose you decided to make a cup of hot tea heated to 220 °F in the kitchen that is at 70 °F.

1.Solve the above equation for the constant b.

2. If the cup of hot tea cooled to 170 °F in 10 minutes, find the value of the constant b in the above equation. Express your answer to 5 decimal places.

3.Solve the above equation for t.

An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, μ, of 12 minutes. the standard deviation of completion times is 1.6 minutes. it is claimed that, under new management, the mean completion time has decreased. to test this claim, a random sample of 33 completion times under new management was taken. the sample had a mean of 11.2 minutes. assume that the population is normally distributed. can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management? assume that the standard deviation of completion times has not changed.
