a) 90.695 lb
b) 85.305 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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 problem, we have that:
(a) The 65th percentile
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.65. So X when Z = 0.385.
(b) The 35th percentile
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.35. So X when Z = -0.385.

Answer:
11 inches by 11 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the original photo were 11 inches by 11 inches.
We are informed that the area of the reduced photo is 64 square inches and that In the equation (x – 3)^2 = 64, x represents the side measure of the original photo.
In order to solve for x, we shall first take square roots on both sides of the equation;
The square root of (x – 3)^2 is simply (x - 3).
The square root of 64 is ±8 but we ignore -8 since the dimensions of any figure must be positive.
Therefore, we have the following equation;
x - 3 = 8
x = 8 + 3
x = 11
Amount of black pepper = 1 7/10 kg = 17/10 kg.
Amount used is
(7/8)*(17/10) = 119/80 kg
This amount is split between 7 shakers. Each shaker has
(119/80)/7 = 17/80 kg = 0.2125 kg
Answer: 17/80 kg (or 0.2125 kg)
