Suppose the weights of apples are normally distributed with a mean of 85 grams and a standard deviation of 8 grams. The weights

of oranges are also normally distributed with a mean of 131 grams and a standard deviation of 20 grams. Amy has an apple that weighs 90 grams and an orange that weighs 155 grams.
Required:
a. Find the probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.
b. What weight do 80% of the apples exceed?

Answer:

a) 0.0304 = 3.04% probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

b) The weight that 80% of the apples exceed is of 78.28g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Weights of apples are normally distributed with a mean of 85 grams and a standard deviation of 8 grams.

This means that \mu = 85, \sigma = 8

a. Find the probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 100. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{100 - 85}{8}

Z = 1.875

Z = 1.875 has a p-value of 0.9697

1 - 0.9696 = 0.0304

0.0304 = 3.04% probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

b. What weight do 80% of the apples exceed?

This is the 100 - 80 = 20th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.2, so X when Z = -0.84.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.84 = \frac{X- 85}{8}

X - 85 = -0.84*8

X = 78.28

The weight that 80% of the apples exceed is of 78.28g.

I can’t figure this out at all.
Liula [17]
The fact that this triangle is a right angle triangle makes you now have 2 angles and the 1 side given, so it should be solvable.
First, You know that A=46 and C=90 as it is the right angle, and you know that the sum of any triangle's angles is 180. so now B=180-(90-46)=44
Now to the sides,
sin(B)=opp./hyp.=b/c=8/c=sin(44)
so, c=8/sin(44) which is approximately 11.52 unit length
now, use Pythagoras to find a,
a=√c²-b² =√11.52²-8² which is approximately 8.3 unit length.
Hope this helps.
