The weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 4004

grams and a variance of 103,684. If a newborn baby boy born at the local hospital is randomly selected, find the probability that the weight will be less than 4293 grams. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.8151 is the probability that the weight will be less than 4293 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4004 grams

Variance = 103,684

\sigma = \sqrt{103684} = 322

We are given that the distribution of weight of newborn baby is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

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

P(weight will be less than 4293 grams)

P(x < 4293)

P( x < 4293) \\\\= P( z < \displaystyle\frac{4293 - 4004}{322}) \\\\= P(z < 0.8975)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 4293) =0.8151 = 81.51\%

0.8151 is the probability that the weight will be less than 4293 grams.

Answer:

Probability that the weight will be less than 4293 grams is 0.8133.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 4004 grams and a variance of 103,684.

Let X = weight of newborn baby boys

So, X ~ N(\mu =4004,\sigma^{2}=322^{2})

The z score probability distribution is given by;

               Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)  

where, \mu = population mean

           \sigma = population standard deviation

(a) Probability that weight will be less than 4293 grams is given by = P(X < 4293 grams)

    P(X < 4293) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{4293-4004}{322 } ) = P(Z < 0.89) = 0.8133

Therefore, if a newborn baby boy born at the local hospital is randomly selected, probability that the weight will be less than 4293 grams is 0.8133.

What is the approximate value of the function at x = -8<br> A) 2<br> B) 1<br> C) 1.8<br> D) 1.5
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

f(-8) = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

See the graph of a given function which is attached to the question given.

The graph of y = f(x) is plotted in the graph and we have to find the value of y at x = - 8 i.e. f(-8).

It is clear from the graph that the value of y corresponding to the value of x = -8 is slightly lower than 2.

Therefore, we can approximate the value of f(-8) as 1.8. (Answer)

Suppose you start at the origin, move along the x-axis a distance of 4 units in the positive direction, and then move downward a
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(4,0,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial position was (0,0,0) since it was the origin

Now, we have a movement of positive x at a distance of 4 units, with a distance of z a total of 7 units(negative since downward)

The current position is thus;

(4,0,-7)

Thus correlates to (x,y,z) and our y has remained zero as there is no movement along the y-axis

write the standard equation of a circle that is tangent to the x-axis with the center located at (2,4)​
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

radius=4 as it is tangent to x-axis.

y co-ordinate of center is 4 so radius=4

eq. of circle is (x-2)²+(y-4)²=4²

or x²-4x+4+y²-8y+16=16

or x²+y²-4x-8y+4=0
