Answer:

The largest annual per capita consumption of bananas in the bottom 5% of consumption is 5.465 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

μ = Mean = 10.4 lb

σ = Standard deviation = 3 lb

Using a confidence level of 90%,

We'll need to first determine the z value that correspond with bottom 5% of consumption of banana

α = 5%

α = 0.05

So,

zα = z(0.05)

z(0.05) = -1.645 ----- From z table

Let x represent the largest annual per capita consumption of bananas

The relationship between x and z is

x = μ + zσ

By substitution;

x = 10.4 + (-1.645) * 3

x = 10.4 - 4.935

x = 5.465

Hence, the largest annual per capita consumption of bananas in the bottom 5% of consumption is 5.465 lb

I am thinking of two numbers. The difference of the two numbers is 36. Their sum is 286. What are the two numbers I am thinking
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Let's call the two numbers a and b. So we know that the difference of the two numbers is 36:

a - b = 36

And we know that their sum is 286:

a + b = 286

We can use either of these equations to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other variable. Let's use the first and solve for a:

a - b = 36

a = 36 + b

Now we plug this into the other equation and solve for b there:

(36 + b) + b = 286 

36 + 2b = 286

2b = 250

b = 125

wel

Answer:

2x² + 6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x)

= 3x² + x - 3 - (x² - 5x + 1) ← distribute

= 3x² + x - 3 - x² + 5x - 1 ← collect like terms

= 2x² + 6x - 4

PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP !!! ( turn sideways )
labwork [276]

Answer:

  y = 2/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept:

  Point line crosses the y axis is -2 which is point (0, -2).

slope:

 points (-3, -4) and (3, 0)

 m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

     = (0 - (-4)) / (3 - (-3))

     = 4 / 6

     = 2/3

Equation of line using your y-intercept and slope from above:

y = mx + b

y = 2/3x - 2
