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 \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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:

\mu = 330, \sigma = 12

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.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.842 = \frac{X - 330}{12}

X - 330 = 12*0.842

X = 340.1

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

Answer:

  about 145.3 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

If half breaks down in the hour, then half remains. That is, each hour the amount remaining is multiplied by 1/2. The remainder after 6 hours is ...

  (9300 mg)(1/2)^6 = 145.3125 gm

About 145.3 mg will be left after 6 hours.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 given angles and equate to 180, that is

3x - 10 + 6x + 5 + 4x - 10 = 180, simplify left side

13x - 15 = 180 ( add 15 to both sides )

13x = 195 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 15

The graph of the function F(x) = 2x^2-8 is changed. The new graph can be
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The graph now opens in the opposite direction. The y intercept is shifted up 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = 2x^2-8

F(X)= -2x^2-4

We know that the graph is reflected over the y-intercept becuase of the negative sign in the second equation ( F(X)= -2x^2-4)

We know that the intercept is shifted up four, because the number decreased from 8 to 4, and the graph is reflected.

Attacthed is both of the equations graphed to help you visualize this shift!
