Answer:

  • <u>0.6826 (68.26%)</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Find the z-scores:</u>

  • z = [X - μ ] / σ

a) z-score for 22.6 inches length

  • X = 22.6
  • μ = 20
  • σ = 2.6

  • z = [ 22.6 - 20 ] / 2.6 = 1.00

b) z-score for 17.4 inches length

  • X = 17.4
  • μ = 20
  • σ = 2.6

  • z = [ 17.4 - 20 ] / 2.6 =  - 1.00

<u>2) Probability</u>

Then, you have to find the probability that the length of an infant is between - 1.00 and 1.00 standards deviations (σ) from the mean (μ).

That is a well known value of 68%, which is part of the 68-95-99.7 empirical rule.

The most exact result is obtained from tables and is 68.26%:

  • 1 - P (z ≥ 1.00) - P (z ≤ - 1.00) = 1 - 0.1587 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26%

F(x)=-1/x
g(x)=√(3x-9)

Domain of (f/g)(x):  ??

1We find out the domain of f(x):
f(x) is a rational function, therefore can take real values if the denominator is not ("0"), therefore the domain of f, will be all values excpet "0"
Domain of  f: (-∞,0)U(0,+∞); 


                                                          o
----------------------------------------------O-------------------------------------------
←-------- -∞                                                               +∞           ----------→


g(x) is a radical square root  function, therefore the radicand have to be greater than o equal to "0"
3x-9≥0
3x≥9
x≥3

                                                         3
.........................................................Ф--------------------------------
←--------- - ∞                                                        +∞ -----------→
          
(f/g)(x) = (-1/x) / (√(3x-9)) is a rational function with a square root in the denominator,also the square root don´t take the value of "0";
Therefore:
3x-9>0
3x>9
x>3

The domain of the function (f/g)(x) only can take the values found in all three domains at once.
