The least weight of a bag in the top 5 percent of the distribution is; 246

From the complete question below, we are given;

Population mean; μ = 240

Population standard deviation; σ = 3

Z-score formula is;

z = (x' - μ)/σ

  • Now, we want to find the least weight in the top 5 of the distribution and as such we will use;

1 - 0.05/2 = 0.025 as significance level

Z-score at significance level of 0.025 is 1.96

Thus;

1.96 = (x' - 240)/3

3 × 1.96 = x' - 240

x' = 240 + 5.88

x' = 245.88

Approximating to a whole number gives;

x' = 246

Complete question is;

A machine is used to fill bags with a popular brand of trail mix. The machine is calibrated so the distribution of the weights of the bags of trail mix is normal, with mean 240 grams and standard deviation 3 grams. Of the following, which is the least weight of a bag in the top 5 percent of the distribution?

What were the Anasazi like?
coldgirl [10]
The Anasazi were the ancestors of the modern-day Pueblo people of Arizona and New Mexico. They were not considered a tribe, though their descendents today comprise the federally recongized Navajo Nation. Contemporary Pueblo people view the term "Anasazi" as an ethnic slur because it translates as "ancient enemy" in the Navajo language. Everything we know of these Indians comes from archaeological finds. They were suburb craftsmen and the things they made were meant to last. The homes they built, as well as pieces of their craft work and clothing, still exist today, 1800 years after they were made. Studying the early Pueblo people has given researchers a good picture of what life was like for them and other early Native Americans who are ancestors of the modern-day tribes.
