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.

If 5 + 6i is a root of the polynomial function f(x), which of the following must also be a root of f(x)? –5 – 6i 5 – 6i 6 – 5i 6
san4es73 [151]

Answer: 5-6i

The rule is that if f(x) has real number coefficients, then a root of x = a+bi pairs up with its conjugate pair of x = a - bi. In this case, a = 5 and b = 6.
