3. The weights of apples in a shipment from Al's Orchards are normally distributed with a mean of 142 grams and a standard devia

tion of 9 grams. The weights of apples in a shipment from Zippy's Orchards are normally distributed with a mean of 165 grams and a standard deviation of 13 grams.
A rotten apple has a mean of 156 grams. Was it more likely to come from Al's or from Zippy's? Use z-scores to explain. Show your work

The z scores corresponding to the mean weight of a rotten apple relative to the apples from either orchard are, respectively,

\dfrac{142-156}9\approx-1.56

\dfrac{165-156}{13}\approx0.69

The mean for the standard normal distribution is 0, which means that z scores closer to 0 represent data points that are more likely to occur. Therefore it's reasonable to believe that rotten apples occur more often in shipments from Zippy's.

F(x) = -3x² - 2x<br><br> how to find f (8)
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

f(8) = -208

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply 8 into the equation

f(8) = -3(8)² - 2(8)

      = -192 - 16

      = -208

8 will be your x value since it's implied within the question itself.
