Answer:

The proportion of infants with birth weights between 125 oz and 140 oz is 0.1359 = 13.59%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 110, \sigma = 0.15

The proportion of infants with birth weights between 125 oz and 140 oz is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 140 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 125. So

X = 140

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{140 - 110}{15}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

X = 125

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{125 - 110}{15}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

0.9772 - 0.8413 = 0.1359

The proportion of infants with birth weights between 125 oz and 140 oz is 0.1359 = 13.59%.

Which equation is the direct variation equation if f(x) varies directly with x and f(x)=-18 when x=3
Otrada [13]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad  \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad  variation

-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=-18\\
x=3
