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.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Option d.$18 to $30

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The quartet  earn between $25 and $40 per hour.

so

If they play for 3 hours

then

($25*3)=$75

($40*3)=$120

the quartet will earn between  $75 and $120

Divide the money equally between the four members

$75/4=$18.75

$120/4=$30

therefore

Each member can make between $18.75 and $30

Last summers, students who worked earned an average of $80 a week with a standard deviation of $12. What percentage of students
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

  • 2.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • μ = 80
  • σ = 12
  • x = 104

<u>Find z-score:</u>

  • z = (x - μ)/σ
  • z = (104 - 80)/12 = 2

Percent value corresponding to 2 as per z-table is 0.9772. This is corresponding to 97.72%.

<u>Percentage of students earned more than $104:</u>

  • 100 - 97.72 = 2.28

Write 0.125 as if it was 2 to a power
Westkost [7]

Answer:

2^{-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

0.125 as a fraction is 125/1000 or 1/8

  • 1 is the same as 2^{0} (anything to the power of 0 is 1)
  • 8 is the same as 2³ (2 × 2 × 2 = 8)
  • 2^{0} ÷ 2³ = 2^{-3} (You subtract the powers: 0 - 3 = -3)

Hope this helps!
