Suppose a Gaussian curve is used to approximate the production of chromium. a. If production peaks at six times its current rate of 2 million tons per year, how long would it take to reach that maximum if the total chromium ever mined is 4 billion tons (five times the current reserves)? b. How long would it take to consume about 95 percent (2) of the total resource? c. What will be the production rate at the time that 95 percent of the total resources are consumed?
