Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2500 grams and a standard deviation of 800

grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 2800 grams and a standard deviation of 425 grams. If a 33​-week gestation period baby weighs 2600 grams and a 41​-week gestation period baby weighs 2900 ​grams, find the corresponding​ z-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation​ period?

Answer:

Babies of 33 week weighs relatively less than the babies of 41 week.

Explanation:

Z score is determined by

=\frac{x-u}{SD}

A) For 33 Week baby

Given

Mean = 2500

SD= 800

x=2600

Z score is

\frac{2600-2500}{800} \\= 0.125

B) For 41 Week baby

Given

Mean = 2800

SD= 425

x=2900

Z score is

\frac{2900-2800}{425} \\= 0.235

The z score depicts that the baby of 33 week or 41 week weighs more than the normal babies of same age group.

Thus, babies of 33 week weighs relatively less than the babies of 41 week.

Answer:

In the light-independent reactions or Calvin cycle, the energized electrons from the light-dependent reactions provide the energy to form carbohydrates from carbon dioxide molecules.  

Explanation:

After the energy is transferred, the energy carrier molecules return to the light-dependent reactions to obtain more energized electrons.

Which one is NOT one of the properties of water?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

a. the frozen form is more dense than the liquid form

Explanation:

The remaining properties are exhibited by water and are described as follows.

b. the frozen form is less dense than the liquid form

1. Water freezes to form ice.

2. When ice is put in water, ice starts floating in water and is visible.

3. If the density of ice was greater than water, ice would have got sunk and go downwards in the water body.

4. Hence, ice which is frozen form of water, has less density than water.

c. water is a solvent

1. The solvency is defined as the ability of a liquid to dissolve a substance.

2. Water is called the universal solvent. This means water can dissolve almost all types of substances.

3. Water is a polar solvent. The polar water molecules have the ability to break down both ionic and covalent bonds.

d. water has a high heat capacity

1. This is defined as the amount of heat needed by 1 gram of a substance so that its temperature is changed by 1 degree centigrade. The heat can either be gained or lost for the temperature to change.

2. The heat required by 1 gram of water to either increase or decrease the temperature of water is called the heat capacity of water.

e. water has a high heat of evaporation

1. This is defined as the amount of heat needed by 1 gram of a substance so that it changes its state from liquid to gas.

2. The heat required to convert 1 gram of water into vapours is called the heat of evaporation of water.

3. 1 g of water when heated at 25 centigrade needs 580 calories of heat to convert into gas.

All the above properties of water show the importance of water for life.
