The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth follows a distribution with mean 266 days and standard deviation 15 day

s.
1- Assume the distribution is bell-shaped (symmetric). The percent of pregnancies last between 236 and 281 days is approximately, [ Select ] ["81.5 %", "19.5%", "68%", "99.7%", "95%"]

2- - Assume the distribution is bell-shaped (symmetric). The percent of pregnancies last between 236 and 296 days is approximately, [ Select ] ["75%", "68%", "99.7%", "95%"]

3- - Assume the distribution is not bell-shaped ( non symmetric). The percent of pregnancies last between 236 and 296 days is approximately, [ Select ] ["85%", "75%", "99.7%", "88.9%", "95%"]

Answer:

a) 81.5%

b) 95%

c) 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 266 days

Standard Deviation, σ = 15 days

We are given that the distribution of  length of human pregnancies is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(between 236 and 281 days)

P(236 \leq x \leq 281)\\\\= P(\displaystyle\frac{236 - 266}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{281-266}{15})\\\\= P(-2 \leq z \leq 1)\\\\= P(z \leq 1) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.838 - 0.023 = 0.815 = 81.5\%

b) a) P(last between 236 and 296)

P(236 \leq x \leq 281)\\\\= P(\displaystyle\frac{236 - 266}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{296-266}{15})\\\\= P(-2 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.973 - 0.023 = 0.95 = 95\%

c) If the data is not normally distributed.

Then, according to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 1-\dfrac{1}{k^2}  data lies within k standard deviation of mean.

For k = 2

1-\dfrac{1}{(2)^2} = 75\%

Atleast 75% of data lies within two standard deviation for a non normal data.

Thus, atleast 75% of pregnancies last between 236 and 296 days approximately.

If a point has a negative x-coordinate, and its y-coordinate is positive, where does the point lie relative to the origin? Expla
Daniel [21]
      If a coordinate has a negative x-coordinate and its y-coordinate is positive, then the point  is on the 2nd quadrant.
      That means that the point is left of the origin and above it.

What is the value of a and b F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b)
nalin [4]
Unfortunately, Tashara, you have not provided enuf info from which to calculate the values of a and b.  If you were to set  <span>F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b)  = to 0, then:

x=0,
x=-a
x=-b

but this doesn't answer your question.
Double check that you have shared all aspects of this question.</span>
