Answer:

D) 5.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

We are to find:

Weight represents the top 10% of the zucchinis

Top 10% = 90th percentile

Z score for 90th percentile = 1.282

Hence

1.282 = x - 5 / 0.7

1.282 × 0.7 = x - 5

0.8974 = x - 5

x = 5 + 0.8974

x = 5.8974

Approximately = 5.9 ounces

The weight that represents the top 10% of the zucchinis is 5.9 ounces
