Tomato as a taste modifier. Miraculin—a protein naturally produced in a rare tropical fruit—can convert a sour taste into a sweet taste; thus, it has the potential to be an alternative low-calorie sweetener. In Plant Science (May 2010), a group of Japanese environmental scientists investigated the ability of a hybrid tomato plant to produce miraculin. For a particular generation of the tomato plant, the amount x of miraculin produced (measured in micrograms per gram of fresh weight) had a mean of 105.3 and a standard deviation of 8.0. Assume that x is normally distributed.

a. Find P1x 7 1202.

b. Find P1100 6 x 6 1102.

c. Find the value a for which P1x 6 a2 = .25.
