Answer 1

Given

mean of 406 grams and a standard deviation of 27 grams.

Find

The heaviest 14% of fruits weigh more than how many grams?

Explanation

given

mean = 406 gms

standard deviation = 27 gms

using standard normal table ,

$\begin{gathered} P(Z>z)=14\% \\ 1-P(Zso , [tex]\begin{gathered} x=z\times\sigma+\mu \\ x=1.08\times27+406 \\ x=435.16 \end{gathered}$

Final Answer

Therefore , The heaviest 14% of fruits weigh more than 435.16 gms
