Answer to Problem AP4.3CPT

Option (d) is the correct option.

Explanation of Solution

It is given that:

  μ=116σ=9

The cutoff value for the heaviest 30% is the same as the cut off value for the lower 100%30%=70% weighs.

Now, we will find the z-score that corresponds with a probability 70% in the normal probability. Thus, the z-score is:

  z=0.50+0.02=0.52

Thus, we have,

  z=xμσ=x1169x1169=0.52x116=0.52(9)x=116+0.52(9)x=120.68

Thus, the heaviest 30% of these bananas weigh at least 120.68 g or approximately 121 g.

Thus, option (d) is the correct option.
