With food prices becoming a great issue in the world; wheat yields are even more important. Some of the highest yielding dry lan

d wheat yields are in Washington state and Idaho; with an average of 100 bushels per acre and a known standard deviation of 30 bushels per acre. A seed producer would like to save the seeds from the highest 90% of their plantings. Above what yield should they save the seed (bushels/acre)?

Answer:

Option E) 61.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 100 bushels per acre

Standard Deviation, σ = 30 bushels per acre

We assume that the distribution of yield is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(X>x) = 0.90

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.90

P(X > x)  

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.90  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.90  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.10  

Calculation the value from standard normal table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30} = -1.282\\x = 61.55 \approx 61.6  

Hence, the yield of 61.6 bushels per acre or more would save the seed.

Evaluate the expression if b=44<br>14 b - 513<br><br>a.88<br>b.103<br>c.86<br>d.100<br>e.94<br>f.92
Nataliya [291]
Evaluating an expression consists of just replacing the letter by its value and do the calculus.
We have the expression 14b - 513. And by hypothesis, b = 44.
So just replace b by 44.

14b - 513 = 14*44 - 513 = 616 - 513 = 103.

So 14b - 513 = 103 (answer b) when b = 44.

Hope this helps! :)

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

A = 31.8 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Yhe formula:

A=\frac{\pi r^{2}(Central.Angle) }{360}

r=18/2=9cm

central angle = (180-135)° = 45°

A=\frac{\pi ((9)^{2}(45) }{360} = \frac{\pi (81)(45)}{360} = 10.125\pi cm^{2}

A=31.8cm^{2}

Hope this helps

Advocard [28]

Answer:

The diameter of the ride is 44 feets.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The circumference of the frame is about 138 ft.

It is required to find the diameter of the ride.

The circumference of means that the outer covering of the circle. It is given by the formula as follows:

C=2\pi r

r is radius

Since, 2r = d, diameter of circle

C=d\pi \\\\d=\dfrac{C}{\pi}\\\\d=\dfrac{138}{3.14}\\\\d=43.94\ ft

or

d = 44 feets

So, the diameter of the ride is 44 feets.
