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 .

Answer:

x = 13/8

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(8x-4) +8 = 11

Subtract 8 from each side

sqrt(8x-4) +8-8 = 11-8

sqrt(8x-4) =3

Square each side

(sqrt(8x-4))^2 =3^2

8x-4 = 9

Add 4 to each side

8x-4+4 = 9+4

8x = 13

Divide by 8

8x/8 = 13/8

x = 13/8

Use the function notation to write a recursive formula to represent the sequence: 4, 8, 12, ...
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is f(n) = f(n − 1) + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the sequence: 4, 8, 12, …

Using f(n) = f(n − 1) + 4, we can easily get the sequence.

As the first term is 4 and next term is obtained by adding 4 to the first term.

i.e. 4+4 = 8

     8+4 = 12

     12+4 = 16  and so on.

Since the next term is obtained by adding 4 to the previous term.

<em>So, f(n) = f(n-1) + 4 would be the correct recursive formula for the function of the sequence 4, 8, 12, .... </em>

<em>Verification: </em>

<em>                 f(n) = f(n-1) + 4</em>

Putting n=2 in f(n) = f(n-1) + 4 to get the second term of the sequence.

<em>                f(2) = f(2-1) + 4</em>

<em>                f(2) = f(1) + 4</em>

<em>                f(2) = 4 + 4</em>

<em>                f(2) = 8</em>

Putting n=3 in f(n) = f(n-1) + 4 to get the third term of the sequence.

<em>                 f(3) = f(3-1) + 4</em>

<em>                 f(3) = f(2) + 4</em>

<em>So, adding 4 in f(2)=8 would give us the next term i.e. 12</em>

<em>                f(3) = 8 + 4</em>

<em>                 f(3) = 12</em>

What is the measure of XYZ​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc XZ is twice the measure of the inscribed angle XYZ , that is

arc XZ = 2 × 60° = 120°

The complete circumference = 360° , thus

arc XYZ = 360° - arc XZ = 360° - 120° = 240° → B

Multiply. Write the answer in lowest terms. <br> 5/7 x 11/7 x 5/6
marusya05 [52]
Hi

5/7 × 11/7 × 5/6 = 55/49 × 5/6 = 275/294

5/7 × 11/7 = (5×11)/(7×7) = 55/49
55/49 × 5/6 = (55×5)/(49×6) = 275/294 (irreducible)

Answer: 275/294
