"2. The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 267 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. a. Find the

probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer. b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 33%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature."

Answer:

a) 0.26% probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer.

b) 260.4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 267, \sigma = 15

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 309. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{309 - 267}{15}

Z = 2.8

Z = 2.8 has a pvalue of 0.9974

1 - 0.9974 = 0.0026

0.26% probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer.

b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 33%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature."

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.33. So it is X when Z = -0.44.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.44 = \frac{X - 267}{15}

X - 267 = -0.44*15

X = 260.4

Write an expression that is equivalent to
finlep [7]

Answer:

15/2r - 40; Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Distributive Property to multiply the 5 across the expression in the parentheses.

5(3/2r - 8)

5 × 3/2r = 15/2r

5 × -8 = -40

Combine.

15/2r - 40

Hope this helps!

Which expression is equivalent??? help!
dexar [7]

Answer:

The equivalent expression for the given expression \sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} } is

4x^{3} y^{2}(\sqrt[3]{4xy} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} }

Solution:

We will see first what is Cube rooting.

\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = x

Law of Indices

(x^{a})^{b}=x^{a\times b}\\and\\x^{a}x^{b} = x^{a+b}

Now, applying above property we get

\sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} }=\sqrt[3]{(4^{3}\times 4\times (x^{3})^{3}\times x\times (y^{2})^{3}\times y   )} \\\\\textrm{Cube Rooting we get}\\\sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} }= 4\times x^{3}\times y^{2}(\sqrt[3]{4xy}) \\\\\sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} }= 4x^{3}y^{2}(\sqrt[3]{4xy})

∴ The equivalent expression for the given expression \sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} } is

4x^{3} y^{2}(\sqrt[3]{4xy} )

Answer:

 a - b2

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP  1 :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

1.1      Factoring:  a-b2  

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check :  a1   is not a square !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares

Final result :

 a - b2
