Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−5)+8=4

(2)(x)+(2)(−5)+8=4(Distribute)

2x+−10+8=4

(2x)+(−10+8)=4(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=4

2x−2=4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=4+2

2x=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 6/2

x=3

Tomato as a taste modifier. Miraculin—a protein naturally produced in a rare tropical fruit—has the potential to be an alternati

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 0.033

b) 0.468

c) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 105.3

Standard Deviation, σ = 8

The amount x of miraculin produced (measured in micro-grams per gram of fresh weight) had a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) P(x > 120)

$P( x > 120) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{120 - 105.3}{8}) = P(z > 1.8375)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 1.8375)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 120) = 1 - 0.967 = 0.033 = 3.3\%$

b) P(x between 100 and 110)

$P(100 \leq x \leq 110) = P(\displaystyle\frac{100 - 105.3}{8} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{110-105.3}{8}) = P(-0.6625 \leq z \leq 0.5875)\\\\= P(z \leq 0.5875) - P(z \leq -0.6625)\\= 0.722 - 0.254 = 0.468 = 46.8\%$

$P(100 \leq x \leq 110) = 46.8\%$

c) P(x < a) = 0.25

$P( x \leq a) = P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{a - 105.3}{8}) = 0.25$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P( z \leq -0.674) = 0.25$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 105.3}{8} = -0.674\\\\x = -0.674\times 8 + 105.3 = 99.908 \approx 100$
