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

The table shows data collected to represent the functional relationship between the number of hours an auto factory is open and
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

{3, 5, 7, 9, 11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of a function is the set of all the allowable values that can be used as an input to the function. In easy words, we can just say this: The set of all the inputs to a function comprises the Domain of the function.

Domain consists of the values of independent variable on which some other variable depends and give some output result. From the given table we can see that there are two variables: Number of hours(x) and the Cars Produced(y).

Number of cars produced depend on the number of hours the auto factory remains open. So, number of hours is the independent or the input variable and all the values of this variable will form the Domain of the function represented by the table.

So, the Domain of the function is: {3, 5, 7, 9, 11}
