    13.92

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have that the critical z-score associated with 85% to the left is 1.04, we know that by table.

    So we have to:

    m + z * (sd) = 16

    where m is the mean, z is the critical z-scor and sd is the standard deviation, if we replace we are left with:

    m + 1.04 * (2) = 16

    m = 16 - 1.04 * (2)

    m = 13.92

    Therefore, the average weight if 85% of cucumbers weigh less than 16 ounces is 13.92
