Answer:

68% of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 266

Standard deviation = 16

What percentage of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days?

250 = 266 - 16

250 is one standard deviation below the mean

282 = 266 + 16

282 is one standard deviation above the mean

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days

The weight of a beg of pears at the local market averages 8 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.5 pound. The weight of all the
Blababa [14]
Mean weight of the bag of pears = u = 8 pounds
Standard deviation = s = 0.5 pounds

We have to find what percentage of bags of pears will weigh more than 8.25 pounds. This can be done using the z score.

We have to convert x = 8.25 to z scores, which will be:

z= \frac{x-u}{s}= \frac{8.25-8}{0.5}

z score = 0.5

From the z table, the probability of z score being greater than 0.5 is 0.3085

Therefore, the probability of a bag to weigh more than 8.25 pounds is 0.3085

Thus 0.3085 or 31% (rounded to nearest integer) of bags of pears will have weight more than 8.25 pounds at the local market.
