Answer:
a) 615
b) 715
c) 344
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question,
- Given that, A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 732 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3311 grams with a standard deviation of 860 grams
- Since the distribution is approximately bell-shaped, we can use the normal distribution and calculate the Z scores for each scenario.
Z = (x - mean)/standard deviation
Now,
For x = 4171, Z = (4171 - 3311)/860 = 1
- P(Z < 1) using Z table for areas for the standard normal distribution, you will get 0.8413.
Next, multiply that by the sample size of 732.
- Therefore 732(0.8413) = 615.8316, so approximately 615 will weigh less than 4171
- For part b, use the same method except x is now 1591.
Z = (1581 - 3311)/860 = -2
- P(Z > -2) , using the Z table is 1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772 . Now 732(0.9772) = 715.3104, so approximately 715 will weigh more than 1591.
- For part c, we now need to get two Z scores, one for 3311 and another for 5031.
Z1 = (3311 - 3311)/860 = 0
Z2 = (5031 - 3311)/860= 2
P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 2) = 0.9772 - 0.5000 = 0.4772
approximately 47% fall between 0 and 1 standard deviation, so take 0.47 times 732 ⇒ 732×0.47 = 344.
Answer:
The story tells of a plain-looking little bird (the Ugly Duckling) born in a barnyard. His brothers and sisters as well as the other birds and animals on the farm tease him for being plain and ugly, so he runs off to live with a flock of wild ducks and geese until hunters shoot down the flock. Alone again, the Ugly Duckling finds a home with an old woman, but her cat and hen also tease him, so he doesn't stay there long.
In his wanderings, the Ugly Duckling comes across a flock of migrating swans, and he wishes to join them but can't because he's too young and can't fly well enough. When winter sets in, a farmer rescues the Ugly Duckling, but the farmer's children and other animals frighten him with their noise and teasing, so again, he flees. He spends a cold and lonely winter hiding in a cave until springtime, when the flock of swans comes to the lake near his hiding place.
When the Ugly Duckling approaches the swans, he's delighted to find that they accept him and treat him like one of them. When he looks at his reflection in the lake, he realizes, to his astonishment, that he's matured into a beautiful swan himself. When the swans fly off from the lake, he spreads his wings and joins them, finally having found a family who accepts him.
