Answer:

the middle 50% of most lengths of pregnancies ranges between 255.62 days and 274.38 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean  = 265

standard deviation = 14

The formula for calculating the z score is z = \dfrac{x -\mu}{\sigma}

x = μ + σz

At middle of 50% i.e 0.50

The critical value for z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.50/2}

From standard normal table

z_{0.25}= + 0.67  or -0.67  

So; when z = -0.67

x = μ + σz

x = 265 + 14(-0.67)

x = 265 -9.38

x = 255.62

when z = +0.67

x = μ + σz

x = 265 + 14 (0.67)

x = 265 + 9.38

x = 274.38

the middle 50% of most lengths of pregnancies ranges between 255.62 days and 274.38 days

galina1969 [7]

Answer:  The correct options are

(A) relation

(B) function.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to check whether the following set is a relation or a relation and a function or neither :

A = {(1, 2) (2, 2) (3, 2) (4, 2)} .

Let us consider the following two sets :

U = {1, 2, 3, 4}  and  V = {2}.

Then, we see that the Cartesian Product of U and V is given by

U × V = {(1, 2) (2, 2) (3, 2) (4, 2)}.

Since a relation is a subset of Cartesian product, so the given set A is a relation.

Also, we know that a relation is a function if every first element is associated with one second element.

Since the relation A satisfies this condition, so the relation A is a function.

Thus, the given set A is both a relation and a function.

Option (A) and (B) are correct.

A water tank can be filled by an inlet pipe in 6 6 hours. it takes 4 4 times as long for the outlet pipe to empty the tank. how
enot [183]
To fill:
6 hours  = 1 tank
1 hour = 1/6 tank

To drain:
It takes 4 times as long, therefore 4 x 6 = 24
24 hours = 1 tank
1hour = 1/24 tank

If both pipes are open 
1 hour = 1/6 - 1/24 = 1/8 tank
1/8 tank = 1 hour
8/8 tank = 1 x 8 hour
1full tank = 8 hours
