Multiple Choice
Let t represent the number of hours that a packing machine is operated and y(t) represent the probability that the machine breaks down at least once during the t hours of operation. It has been observed that the rate of increase of the probability of a breakdown is proportional to the probability of not having a breakdown. Find a differential equation describing this situation.
A) = ky; There is not enough information given to determine initial conditions.
B) = ky; y(0) = 0
C) = k(1 - y) ; There is not enough information given to determine initial conditions.
D) = k(1 - y) ; y(0) = 0
E) = (1 + y) ; y(0) =0
