In the United States, birth weights of newborn babies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of μ = 3,500 g and a st

andard deviation of σ = 500 g.
What percent of babies born in the United States are classified as having a low birth weight (< 2,500 g)? Explain how you got your answer.


answer:The z-score for 2,500 g is –2.

According to the empirical rule, 95% of babies have a birth weight of between 2,500 g and 4,500 g.

5% of babies have a birth weight of less than 2,500 g or greater than 4,500 g.

Normal distributions are symmetric, so 2.5% of babies weigh less than 2,500g.

Igoryamba

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

P(AP statistics) = 65%

P(AP Calculus) = 45%

P(AP statistics n AP Calculus) = 30%

Probability of AP statistics or AP Calculus but not both :

Probability of event A or B :

P(AUB) = p(A) + p(B) - p(AnB)

P(AP statistics U AP Calculus) = P(AP statistics) + P(AP Calculus) - P(AP statistics n AP Calculus)

= 0.65 + 0.45 - 0.30

= 0.8

= 80%

The population of a small town is 39,668 and has been continuously declining at a 1.5% a year what will the population be in 13
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:  31, 932.74

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the small town              =  39,668

Yearly rate of decline                                 = 1.5%

Therefore, to calculate 1.5% of 39,668       = 1.5  x 39,668

                                                                         ------------------

                                                                                  100

                                                                      =   595.02

So, the population is declining by 595.02 on yearly basis.

To ascertain what will the population would have declined to in the next 13 years,

We multiply ,                                                = 595.02 x 13

                                                                      =7,735.26

Now population in 13 years                         = 39,668 - 7,735.26

                                                                      = 31,932.74

Jocelyn owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. She only has enough supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos. She sells e
timurjin [86]

Answer:

We know that:

Price of a taco = $4

Price of a burrito = $6.50

x = number of tacos sold

y = number of burritos sold.

We must have that:

x + y ≤ 150  (Because she only has supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos, but she can sell less than that)

And also we know that she must sell at least $780, then:

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

Now we found the system of inequalities:

x + y ≤ 150

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

To solve it graphically, we just need to find each one of the region solutions for each equation, and the intersection of these regions will be the solution for the system.

To graph them may be easier to write them as lines, you can do it as follows:

y ≤ 150 - x

y ≥ ($780 - x*$4)/$6.50

in the first equation, we will shade the area below the line, and in the second equation, we will shade the area above the line.

You can see the image below.

Where the accepted solutions are the ones in the darker part, and we only restrict this to positive values of x (because of how we defined the variable x)

Then looking at the image, we can see that one solution can be the point

x = 20, y = 120

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. sin^-1(sin theta) = theta

   (1/sin)(sin theta) = theta

<em>the sines cross out</em> theta = theta

b. cos(cos^-1x) = x

   cos(x/cos) = x

<em>the cosines cross out </em>x = x
