Answer:
Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:

a. Highest 20 percent
At least X
100-20 = 80
So X is the 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.842.




Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

Answer:
B. 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of this polynomial is based on the highest power on the exponents (if there is more than one variable, it is based on the sum)
The highest power is 3, so the degree is 3
The variable in this equation is b, therefore we have to calculate the value of b.
-38=2b+25-(-7b)
-38=2b+25+7b
2b+7b=-38-25
9b=-63
b=-63/9
b=-7
Answer: the value of the variable is b=-7
We can check it out this answer:
-38=2b+25-(-7b)
-38=2(-7)+25-(-7(-7))
-38=-14+25-49
-38=-38
