A process that fills packages is not stopped until four packages whose weight falls outside the specification are detected. Assume that each package has probability 0.01 of falling outside the specification and that the weights of the packages are independent.

a.Define the random variable of interest, its support, and parameter values over this period.

b. What is the probability that 50 packages need to be filled until the process is stopped?

c.Find the mean and variance of the number of packages that will be filled before the process is stopped.

A trapezoid-shaped potato with base lengths of 1.5 cm and 2.0 cm respectively and a height/thickness of 0.5 cm was dried at a temperature of 70 ^oC in a convective oven for 24 h, if the surface temperature of the potato remained at 65 ^oC throughout the drying operation, describe the different changes that occurs during the constant and falling rate periods. If the convective heat transfer coefficient of stem/water is given as 850 W/m^2oC, calculate the amount of heat transferred into the potato
