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.

A rope from the top of a mast on a sailboat is attached to a point 6 feet from the base of the mast. If the rope is 24 feet long
Zanzabum

Answer: It is about 23 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's call <em>x</em> the height of the mast.

2. You know that the rope is attached to a point 6 feet from the base of the mast and the rope is 24 feet long, therefore, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.

3. To calculate <em>x</em>, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem as you can see below:

x=\sqrt{(24ft)^{2}-(6ft)^{2}}\\x=\sqrt{540ft^{2}}

x≈ 23ft

70% of Ms. Miller's class passed the test on the first try. Those who failed were able to retake and half of those students pass
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Calculate how many students passed on their first try. 20 x 70% is 14, so 14 students passed on their first try.
  2. 6 students retook the test. Half of 6 is 3. Add 3 to the 14 students that passed earlier.
  3. Calculate the percent with the equation 17/20 = 0.85. 0.85 = 85%.
