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

Pip and Sara win some money and share it in ratio 5:4 pip gets £50 how much did they get all together
N76 [4]

Answer: £90

Step-by-step explanation:

Pip and Sara get some money. They share it in the ratio 5 : 4.

Pip gets £50 so what did Sara get:

Use direct proportion:

5  :  4

50 :   x

5x = 200

x = 200/5

x = £40

Pip got £50 and Sara got £40.

Together they got:

= 50 + 40

= £90

Please help???? Geometry
Musya8 [376]
Any line can be expresses as:

y=mx+b where m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)

First find the slope:

m=(2-0)/(8-0)=2/8=1/4 so we have thus far:

y=0.25x+b, we solve for b using any point on the line, (8,2)

2=0.25(8)+b

2=2+b 

0=b

So the line is:

y=.25x  which they might also express as y=x/4

The answer is E. (1/4)x
