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

Kala, Deandre, and Eric have a total of $119 in their wallets, Kala has $6 more than Deandre. Eric has 3 times what kala has. Ho
Tomtit [17]
Deandre = x
Kala = x + 6
Eric = 3(x+6)
x + x + 6 + 3(x+6) = 119
2x + 6 + 3x + 18 = 119
5x + 24 = 119
5x = 95, x = 19
Deandre has $19
Kala has 19 + 6 = $25
Eric has 3(25) = $75
