The mean time in hours per day for newborn babies is 16.5 hours ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

A sleep time of 15.9 hours per day for a newborn baby is at the 10th

percentile of the distribution of sleep times for all newborn babies

Assuming the distribution is normal with a standard deviation of

0.5 hour

To find the mean time let us do that

1. Use the normal distribution table to find the corresponding z-score

   for 10th percentile

2. Use the rule μ = x - zσ, where μ is the mean, σ is the standard

    deviation and x is the score

3. Substitute the values of x, σ and z in the rule to find μ

Look to the normal distribution table to find z-score that equivalent

to the area = 10/100 = 0.1 (10th percentile)

∵ z-score = -1.28

∵ σ = 0.5 hour

∵ x = 15.9

∵ μ = x - zσ

- Substitute the values in the rule

∴ μ = 15.9 - (-1.28)(0.5)

∴ μ = 15.9 + 0.64

∴ μ = 16.54 ≅ 16.5 hours

The mean time in hours per day for newborn babies is 16.5 hours

I dont understand the problem
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

equation of a line:

y = mx+c

1) find the gradient, m

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

m =  \frac{ - 4 - ( - 4)}{ - 10 - 1}

m = 0

2) find y-intercept, c using coordinate (1,-4)

y = mx + c

-4 = 0(1) + c

c = -4

the equation of line:

y = mx+c

y = 0(x) + c

y = c

y = -4
