The weights of items produced by a company are normally distributed with a mean of 5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounces. What is the minimum weight of the heaviest 9.85% of all items produced?

The minimum weight of the heaviest 9.85% of all items produced is 5.26 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 question, we have that:

What is the minimum weight of the heaviest 9.85% of all items produced?

This is the 100 - 9.85 = 90.15th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9015. So X when Z = 1.29.

The minimum weight of the heaviest 9.85% of all items produced is 5.26 ounces.

b. an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the figure of two circles having a triangle inside.

now, we know that,

"when a figure is lying inside an another figure, then the outside figure is known as circumscribed figure and the figure lying inside is referred to as the inscribed figure".

as we see that, the circles are containing the triangle completely.

thus, the circles are the circumscribed figures and the triangle is the inscribed figure.

hence, we get, 'an equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle'.
