Miraculin - a protein naturally produced in a rare tropical fruit - can convert a sour taste into a sweet taste. Consequently, m

iraculin has the potential to be an alternative low-calorie sweetener. In Plant Science (May 2010), a group of Japanese environmental scientists investigated the ability of a hybrid tomato plant to produce miraculin. For a particular generation of the tomato plant, the amount x of miraculin produced (measured in micrograms per gram of fresh weight) had a mean of 105.3 and a standard deviation of 8.0. Assume that x is normally distributed. a. Find P(x > 120). b. Find P(100 < x < 110). c. Find the value a for which P(x < a) = .25 .

Answer:

a) P(x > 120) = 0.74537

b) P(100 < x < 110) = 0.46777

c) Value of a = 110.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of miraculin produced (measured in micro grams per gram of fresh weight)

We are given <em>Mean, </em>\mu<em> = 105.3  and  Standard Deviation, </em>\sigma<em> = 8.0</em>

Also, since x is normally distributed so;

                    Z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} follows N(0,1)

a) P(x > 100) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} > \frac{100 - 105.3}{8.0} ) = P(Z > -0.6625) = P(Z < 0.66) = 0.74537

b) P(100 < x < 110) = P(x < 110) - P(x <= 100)

     P(x <= 100) = 1 - P(x > 100) = 1 - 0.74537 = 0.25463

     P(x < 110) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < \frac{110 - 105.3}{8.0} ) = P(Z < 0.59) = 0.72240

Hence, <em>P(100 < x < 110) = 0.72240 - 0.25463 = 0.46777</em>

c) Given expression is P(x < a ) = 0.25

                       ⇒ P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < \frac{a - 105.3}{8.0} ) = 0.25

                       ⇒ P(Z < \frac{a - 105.3}{8.0} ) = 0.25

By seeing the Z % table we find that the value of z which have an are of 25% is 0.6745 i.e.

                     \frac{a - 105.3}{8.0} = 0.6745

So, value of a = 0.6745*8 + 105.3 = 110.7 .

Explain why a set of points that defines a plane cannot be collinear
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Three non-collinear points determine a plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement means that if you have three points not on one line, then only one specific plane can go through those points. The plane is determined by the three points because the points show you exactly where the plane is
