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%.

Answer:

B -0.104

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the formula for correlation

r =    total xy

√Total x² x Total y²

Step 2: Make a table to calculate all values

Table is attached in the picture below

Step 3 : Solve

Mean of X = Total X/ Total number of X

                  = 507/12

                  = 106.33

Mean of Y = Total Y/ Total number of Y

                  = 1276/ 12  

                  = 42.25

r =    total xy

√Total x² x Total y²

r = -352.05/ √3656.25 x 3122.66698

r = -0.104

-0.104 is negative

This negative correlation means there is an inverse correlation between variables.
