7. In a game, there are two bags, A and B, each containing 5 balls. Bag A contains 3 red and 2
blue balls, while bag B contains 4 red and 1 blue balls. A player first chooses a bag at random

minutes, while exactly 3.95% of the customers at the express counter wait more than k
minutes.

the curve of

ln( 100) y t = + is concave downward for 0 10 t s s ,..(2)
Also, at t = 0,
2
ln( 100) y t = + attains minimum point and
it is (0, ln100) , where ln100 is positive.(3)
Combining (1), (2), and (3),
the graph of

downward for 0 10 t s s .
Therefore the estimation of

Since the value of y ( ~45.6792) is underestimated
but still greater than that of x( ~45.6636),
I agree with the engineer that machine B is more productive than machine A in the
