Birth weights of babies born to full-term pregnancies follow roughly a Normal distribution. At Meadowbrook Hospital, the mean we

ight of babies born to full-term pregnancies is 7 lbs with a standard deviation of 14 oz (1lb = 16 oz).What is the probability that the average weight of the four babies will be more than 7.5 lbs?Would you convert the lbs. to ounces before this problem can be solved?

Answer:

Prob is 0.2839

Yes should be converted to have uniform units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that birth weights of babies born to full-term pregnancies follow roughly a Normal distribution

Let X be the mean weight of babies born to  full-term pregnancies

X is N (7, 14/16)

We convert oz into pounds to have uniform units so that we can do arithmetical operations in that

The probability that the average weight of the four babies will be more than 7.5 lbs

= P(X>7.5)

= P(Z>\frac{7.5-7}{\frac{14}{16} } \\=P(Z>0.5714)\\=0.2839

A medical researcher is working on a new treatment for a certain type of cancer. The average survival time after diagnosis for t
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The suitable results are:

Option A: The alternative hypothesis could really be true but because the sample size is small, the power is very low so the researchers are likely to run an experiment whose results lead them to make a type II error.

Option D: Inasmuch there is no statistical evidence to accept the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis could be true and there is no difference between the new and standard treatments survival rate.

Explanation:

Below are the options  suitable for results:

Option A: The alternative hypothesis could really be true but because the sample size is small, the power is very low so the researchers are likely to run an experiment whose results lead them to make a type II error - Reason been that, as the sample size increase, so also does the power of the test increase. Therefore, because the power is too small, the researchers are likely to commit type 2 error.

Option D: Inasmuch there is no statistical evidence to accept the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis could be true and there is no difference between the new and standard treatments survival rate.

An example of an asset-producing debt
erastovalidia [21]
<span>For example, education debt is a fact of life for many of us but we should view it as an investment in our future. We’d like to think it will provide us with an opportunity to increase our future income, so that makes it good debt. Debt for an unaffordable expensive car would be considered bad debt since it is an unnecessary expense that provides no income and depreciates in value. Debt for something that depreciates and provides no income would certainly be considered bad debt. An education is an investment that appreciates in value by increasing future income potential... the car is a depreciating expense that will provide no income and will rapidly depreciate in value (uses up income instead of providing income). The expensive car may be more fun to have, but the education will be the best investment.</span>

No. Quincy should have used the trend line to find the corresponding x value when y=80.
