Answer:
The weight that separate the top 8% by 5.2605 and the weight that separate bottom 8% by 5.1195.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Mean,[tex]\mu=5.19[/tex]
Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma=0.05[/tex]
We have to find the two weights that separate the top 8% and the bottom 8%.
Let x1 and x2 the two weights that separate the top 8% and the bottom 8%.
Z-value for p-value =0.08 =[tex]-1.41[/tex]
For 8% bottom
[tex]Z=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}=-1.41[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x_1-5.19}{0.05}=-1.41[/tex]
[tex]x_1-5.19=-1.41\times 0.05[/tex]
[tex]x_1=-1.41\times 0.05+5.19[/tex]
[tex]x_1=5.1195[/tex]
For 8% top
p-Value=1-0.08=0.92
Z- value=1.41
Now,
[tex]\frac{x_2-5.19}{0.05}=1.41[/tex]
[tex]x_2-5.19=1.41\times 0.05[/tex]
[tex]x_2=1.41\times 0.05+5.19[/tex]
[tex]x_2=5.2605[/tex]
(x1,x2)=(5.1195,5.2605)
