A farmer believes that the yields of his tomato plants have a normal distribution with an average yield of 11 lbs and a standard

deviation of 2.1 lbs. The farmer would like to identify the plants which yield the highest 5% in weight and save them for breeding purposes. What yielded weight separates the top 5% of the crop from the rest? Use the information above and the Z table to find the Z SCORE that you will use in this problem.

Given:
mean, μ = 11 lb
Std. deviation, σ = 2.1

Let x =  the weight that separates the top 5% of the crop.
The z-score is
z = (x - μ)/σ 
   = (x - 11)/2.1

From standard z-table for normal distribution,
P(z=1.645) = 0.95
 
Therefore
(x - 11)/2.1 = 1.645
x - 11 = 1.645/2.1 = 0.7833
x = 11.783

Answer:  11.8 lb (nearest tenth)

How do you find the phase shift of the trig function y=4sin(pieX+2)-5
max2010maxim [7]

The phase shift is the value of the angle when the variable
in the angle is zero.

The angle in the sin function in this equation is (pi X + 2).

When the variable 'X' is zero, the angle is  2 .

So the phase shift of this sin function is  2  (of whatever
the unit of the angle is ... 2 degrees, 2 radians, etc.)

U - 4u + 4 = 7 what is U
valentina_108 [34]
Try to get the u’s on one side so for this to happen, you would subtract the four from both sides.
u - 4u = 7 - 4

combine like terms

-3u = 3

divide by -3

u = -1
