Margaret [11]

Answer:

The estimation for the number of newborns who weighed between 1724 grams and 5172 grams is 595.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 3448, \sigma = 862$

Proportion of newborns who weighed between 1724 grams and 5172 grams.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5172 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1724. So

X = 5172

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{5172 - 3448}{862}$

$Z = 2$

$Z = 2$ has a pvalue of 0.9772

X = 1724

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{1724 - 3448}{862}$

$Z = -2$

$Z = -2$ has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

Estimate the number of newborns who weighed between 1724 grams and 5172 grams.

0.9544 out of 623 babies. SO

0.9544*623 = 595

The estimation for the number of newborns who weighed between 1724 grams and 5172 grams is 595.

Theo, Nancy, and Mary each drove separately to meet at Approximately how

Step2247 [10]

Mary's house is approximately 49.73 miles from her grandmother's house.

The distances the three drove were;

Mary drove for 49.73 miles, Theo drove 50 miles and Nancy drove 53.299 miles.

Explanation:

The given triangle has a 13 mile long adjacent side, a 48 mile long opposite side and the distance of Mary's route is the hypotenuse. As we have two sides of the triangle, we can solve for the length of the other side by using Pythagoras' theorem.
Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x miles. According to Pythagoras theorem, x = √(13² + 48²) , x = √169 + 2,304 x = √2,473 = 49.729. Rounding this off, we get Mary's route was 49.73 miles long.
Nancy drove √2,840 miles = 53.2916 miles.
So Mary drove the shortest distance of 49.73 miles, second shortest was Theo who drove for 50 miles and the longest was Nancy who drove for 53.299 miles.

∠EFG and ∠LMN are supplementary angles, m∠EFG=(3x+17)º, and m∠LMN=(12x−5)º.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

EFG = 50.6, LMN = 129.4

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so s supplementary angles mean, their angles will always add upto 180. for example if one angle is 100° then the other will be 80°.

to find the angles first we need to solve for x.

we know EFG + LMN = 180 because its supplementary.

that's is (3x+17) + (12x-5) = 180.

we now solve for x;

15x+12 = 180

15x = 168, x= 168/15 = 11.2

now that we know x we can put this value in the corresponding equation of EFG and LMN to find the angles.

EFG = 3x11.2 + 17 = 50.6

LMN = 12x11.2 - 5 = 129.4
