Gce Model Questions Vol1 2020 Agricultural Science Question 14
Practice objective / multiple choice question 14 from the 2020 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
Weight loss of mangoes during storage is described by \(R(T)=0.02\,e^{0.1T}\) % per day, where \(T\) is the storage temperature in °C (5 ≤ T ≤ 20). The daily probability of spoilage is \(S(T)=0.005\,(T-5)\). The economic loss is $0.10 per % weight loss per kg and $1 per kg of spoiled fruit. For a 1000 kg batch, the total expected daily loss is \(L(T)=100\,R(T)+1000\,S(T)\). Determine the temperature that minimises \(L(T)\) and compute the minimum loss (to two decimal places).
