The daily milk production of Guernsey cows is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 35 kg/day and a std. deviation o

f 7 kg/day. The producer is concerned when the milk production of a cow falls below the 10th percentile since the animal may be ill. The 10th percentile (in kg) of the daily milk production is approximately:

Answer:

The 10th percentile of the daily milk production is approximately 26.04kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 35, \sigma = 7

The 10th percentile is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.10. This is X when Z = -1.28. So

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

-1.28 = \frac{X - 35}{7}

X - 35 = -1.28*7

X = 26.04

The 10th percentile of the daily milk production is approximately 26.04kg.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the daily milk production of Guernsey cows is approximately normally distributed, we would apply the normal distribution formula which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = daily milk production

u = mean milk production rate.

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 35 kg/day

s = 7 kg/day.

The 10th percentile is 0.1. Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to the 10th percentile is - 1.28

Therefore,

- 1.28 = (x - 35)/7

x - 35 = 7 × - 1.28

x - 35 = - 8.96

x = - 8.96 + 35

x = 26.04

The 10th percentile (in kg) of the daily milk production is approximately in 26 kg/day

Answer:

\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow NO\quad SOLUTIONS}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>TO SOLVE:</u></h3>

Isolate by the x on one side of the equation.

<h3><u>SOLUTIONS:</u></h3>

First, subtract 3x from both sides.

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \mathsf{3x+11-3x=3x-11-3x}}

Solve.

\displaystyle \mathsf{11=-11}

Sides are NOT equal.

\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow THERE \quad ARE \quad NO \quad SOLUTIONS}}}

Therefore, there are no solutions.

Use the drop-down menus to choose steps in order to correctly solve 5(z + 6) – 2 = 9z for z.
shusha [124]
Solve for z:
5 (z + 6) - 2 = 9 z

5 (z + 6) = 5 z + 30:
5 z + 30 - 2 = 9 z

Add like terms. 30 - 2 = 28:
5 z + 28 = 9 z

Subtract 9 z from both sides:
(5 z - 9 z) + 28 = 9 z - 9 z

5 z - 9 z = -4 z:
-4 z + 28 = 9 z - 9 z

9 z - 9 z = 0:
28 - 4 z = 0

Subtract 28 from both sides:
(28 - 28) - 4 z = -28

28 - 28 = 0:
-4 z = -28

Divide both sides of -4 z = -28 by -4:
(-4 z)/(-4) = (-28)/(-4)

(-4)/(-4) = 1:
z = (-28)/(-4)

The gcd of 28 and -4 is 4, so (-28)/(-4) = (-(4×7))/(4 (-1)) = 4/4×(-7)/(-1) = (-7)/(-1):
z = (-7)/(-1)

(-7)/(-1) = (-1)/(-1)×7 = 7:
Answer:  z = 7

What is this ?????? plz helpppp
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The baker uses 15 cups of cereal for 10 cups of marshmallows

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion 6:4 has to stay true in the answer, so both numbers have to be multiplied by the same number

6 x 2.5 = 15

4 x 2.5 = 15

both numbers were multiplied by the same number in this answer and it is the only answer that stays true to the ratio
