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%.

You would add like terms so it would be 1x then you add 1 to 7 so you would get 8.. the you divide both sides by 1x and you'd get 8=x

Table:

y = x²

can also be written as: f(x) = x²

Plug in each x value and calculate the output:

f(-4) = (-4)² = 16

f(-3) = (-3)² = 9

f(-2) = 4

f(-1) = 1

f(-\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}

f(0) = 0

f(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}

f(1) = 1

f(2) = 4

f(3) = 9

f(4) = 16
