Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate for x in this this question -5x-(8-x)=12

the firsst step, you would open the bracket with - then evaluate for the value of x

solution

-5x-(8-x)=12

-5x -8 + x = 12

combine the like terms

-5x + x = 12 + 8

-4x = 20

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

-4x/-4 = 20/-4

x = -5

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

inessss [21]

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

That is,

Consider X be the length of the pregnancy

Mean and standard deviation of the length of the pregnancy.

Mean $\mu =266\\$

Standard deviation \sigma =15

For part (a) , to find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer:

That is, to find $P(X\geq 308)$

Using normal distribution,

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

$z=\frac{308-266}{15}$

$=\frac{42}{15}$

Thus $z=2.8$

So $P\left (X\geq 308 \right )=1-P(X$

$=1-P(z$

$=1-Table\: value\: of\: 2.8$

$=1-0.99744$

$=0.00256$

Thus the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer is given by 0.00256.

This the answer for part(a): 0.00256

For part(b), to find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

Given that the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 3%.

The z-value for the lowest of 3% is -1.8808

Then $X=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\Rightarrow X=z*\sigma+\mu$

This implies $X=-1.8808*15+266=237.788$

Thus the babies who are born on or before 238 days are considered to be premature.
