Let the lengths of pregnancies be X
X follows normal distribution with mean 268 and standard deviation 15 days
z=(X-269)/15

a. P(X>308)
z=(308-269)/15=2.6
thus:
P(X>308)=P(z>2.6)
=1-0.995
=0.005

b] Given that if the length of pregnancy is in lowest is 44%, then the baby is premature. We need to find the length that separates the premature babies from those who are not premature.
P(X<x)=0.44
P(Z<z)=0.44
z=-0.15
thus the value of x will be found as follows:
-0.05=(x-269)/15
-0.05(15)=x-269
-0.75=x-269
x=-0.75+269
x=268.78
The length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature is 268.78 days

A % is out of a hundred, so you don't need the %/100. Then, you wouldn't do cross multiplication, you would just divide 15/27. Remember, it would be 15/27 because it's percent markup, not the percent the price increased by. So, doing that simple calculation on a calculator you get 0.5555. This converted to a percent is just moving the decimal to the right twice, or multiplied by a 100. That would give you 55.55%, and that's your answer. Make sense?
