The annual per capita consumption of fresh bananas (in pounds) in the united states can be approximated by the normal distribution, with a mean of 9.1 pounds and a standard deviation of 2 pounds.
a. what is the smallest annual per capita consumption of bananas that can be in the top 10% of consumption?
b. what is the largest annual per capita consumption of bananas that can be in the bottom 5% of consumption?

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33

3+3+3+2*2*2+29*12 = 365
