He can make 3 batches of soup.

Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.

0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10

We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:

7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5

Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5

Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3

The lengths of pregnancies in a small rural village are normally distributed with a mean of 265 days and a standard deviation of
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

the middle 50% of most lengths of pregnancies ranges between 255.62 days and 274.38 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean  = 265

standard deviation = 14

The formula for calculating the z score is z = \dfrac{x -\mu}{\sigma}

x = μ + σz

At middle of 50% i.e 0.50

The critical value for z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.50/2}

From standard normal table

z_{0.25}= + 0.67  or -0.67  

So; when z = -0.67

x = μ + σz

x = 265 + 14(-0.67)

x = 265 -9.38

x = 255.62

when z = +0.67

x = μ + σz

x = 265 + 14 (0.67)

x = 265 + 9.38

x = 274.38

the middle 50% of most lengths of pregnancies ranges between 255.62 days and 274.38 days
