Answer A and Answer D along with the ones you picked beforehand
Answer: the probability that a randomly selected Canadian baby is a large baby is 0.19
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the birth weights of babies born in Canada is assumed to be normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = birth weights of babies
µ = mean weight
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 3500 grams
σ = 560 grams
We want to find the probability or that a randomly selected Canadian baby is a large baby(weighs more than 4000 grams). It is expressed as
P(x > 4000) = 1 - P(x ≤ 4000)
For x = 4000,
z = (4000 - 3500)/560 = 0.89
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.81
P(x > 4000) = 1 - 0.81 = 0.19
One way to find
is to notice that the part on the left hand side within the parentheses can be written as a square:
So you could write
Since these two expressions are equal, and the bases are the same, you know the exponents must be equal, with the exponent on the right hand side being 1. So
, or
.
