The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with a

mean of 266 days and standard deviation of 16 days.What percent of pregnancies last less than 240 days?What percent of pregnancies last between 240 days and 270 days?How long do the longest 20% of pregnancies last?

Answer:

P(X<240)=0.0521

P(240<X<270)=0.5466

280 days

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following information

mean=μ=266 days

standard deviation=σ=16 days

P(X<240)=P(X-μ/σ<240-266/16)=P(z<-1.625)

This probability can either be determined by utilizing normal distribution table or using Excel.

Using Excel function <em>NORM.S.DIST(-1.625,TRUE)</em> we get

P(X<240)=0.0521

P(240<X<270)=P((240-266)/16<X-μ/σ<(270-266)/16)=P(-1.625<z<0.25)

P(-1.625<z<0.25)=P(z<0.25)-P(z<-1625)

Using Excel function

<em>NORM.DIST(270,266,16,TRUE)-NORM.DIST(240,266,16,TRUE)</em> we get

P(240<X<270)=0.5466

P(X>x)=0.20

P(z>(x-266)/16)=0.20

Using Excel function <em>NORM.INV(0.8,266,16)</em> we get

x=280

<em>OR</em>

P(X>x)=0.2

The area to the right of x is 0.2 and the area between mean and x is

0.5-0.2=0.3

Looking for 0.3 in the normal distribution table we don't find 0.3 but the closest value is .3023 and it corresponds to z-value 0.85.

z=0.85

z=x-μ/σ

σ*z+μ=x

x=16*0.85+266

x=279.6≅280

The longest 20% of pregnancies lasts 280 days

Which expressions have the same solution as –4(6)? Check all that apply.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

4(-6), 6(-4), 12(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(6) = -4 x 6 = -24

so

4(-6) = 4 x -6 = -24

6(-4) = 6 x -4 =  -24

12(-2) = 12 x -2 = -24

What is the length of the longest side of a triangle that has vertices at (7, 6), (7, 1), and (-5, 6)?
iren2701 [21]

Answer: The Answer is going to be B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance between each pair of points using the distance formula Sqrt((x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2),(x1 and x2 are the x ordinates of each point, and y1 and y2 are the y ordinates. Sqrt stands for square root, and ^2 is to the power of two.

Using this we can find the side between 7,6 and 7,1 is 5.

The side between 7,1 and -5,6 is 13

The side between 7,6 and -5,6 is 12

After using the formula we can conclude the side between 7,1 and -5,6 is the longest, and it equals 13. Therefore the answer is B.
