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.

In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, what is the complement (not below 8)?
Damm [24]

Answer 2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck: 13 ordinal cards (Ace -10, jack, Queen, King)and 4 of them

- one to each sute (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades ) and so we have 4x13=52

There are 8 card that fit the question (4 each of access and kings).

so if you in a random draw the odds of drawing one of those 8 card out of the total number of 52 is 8/52

which we simplify

8/2=2/13

If Shane and Susan both push on a box with a force of 25N, but in opposite directions, what will happen to the box?
Anarel [89]
Since the forces exerted on the box are equal and opposite in direction, the net force will be 0, so the box will not move.
A way to think of this is the equal forces in opposite directions cancel each other out, so the net force is 0.

Q = m-a/x (solve for m)​
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

m=a/x+Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Q=m-a/x

To solve this we need to isolate m so we will bring -a/x to the other side of the equal sign so it will become positive i.e. ax now will be  written as a/x+Q=m

in other wards m=a/x+Q
