Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2,700 grams and a standard deviation of 900

grams, while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3,000 grams and a standard deviation of 465 grams. If a 33-week gestation period baby weighs 2,225 grams and a 40-week gestation period baby weighs 2,525 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs less relative to the gestation period?
a. The 33-week gestation period baby weighs _____ standard deviations _____ the mean.
b. The 40-week gestation period baby weighs _____ standard deviations _____the mean.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
c. Which baby weighs relatively less?
A. The baby born in week 40 does since its z-score is smaller.
B. The baby born in week 40 does since its z-score is larger.
C. The baby born in week 33 does since its z-score is larger.
D. The baby born in week 33 does since its z-score is smaller.

Answer:

the answers have been provided below

Step-by-step explanation:

Population z score is given as (x-μ)/sd For a 32 to 35 week gestation period

μ= 2700

Sd = 900grams

x = 2225

z = (2225-2700)/900

z = -0.527

For a 40 week gestation period.

μ = 3000

Sd = 465grams

x = 2525

z = (2525-3000)/465

Z = -1.022

In answer to the question:

a. The 33-week gestation period baby weighs 0.53 standard deviations below the mean.

b. The 40-week gestation period baby weighs 1.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c. -1.022 < -0.527. the 40 weeks gestation baby weighs less.

A. The baby born in week 40 does since its z-score is smaller.

The straight line joining the points A(3,-5) and B(6,k) has a gradient of 4. Work out the value of k.
BaLLatris [955]

The straight line joining the points A(3,-5) and B(6,k) has a gradient of 4.

Gradient is the slope

So the slope of the line joining the points A(3,-5) and B(6,k) is 4

Slope of line joining two points = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

A(3,-5) and B(6,k) are (x1,y1)  and (x2,y2)

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

slope = \frac{k-(-5)}{6-3}=\frac{k+5)}{3}

We know slope =4

 \frac{k+5)}{3}=4

Cross multiply  and solve for k

k + 5 = 12

k = 7

The value of k = 7

Which of the numbers below belong to the solution set for x-7&gt;3
beks73 [17]
It cant be 7 because,
X-7>3
7-7>3
0>3
And 0 is not bigger than 3

It cant be 9 because,
X-7>3
9-7>3
2>3
And 2 is not bigger than 3

So it is 11 because,
X-7>3
11-7>3
4>3
And 4 is bigger than 3

So the answer is 3) 11

Can someone help please and thank you
denis-greek [22]
Try making a grid like this. Apologies for the terrible drawing and handwriting. It represents all possible results of rolling two dice and summing their values. The blue column and yellow row represent the values of each die, and the green numbers reptesent their sums.
First, you can see that there are 36 possible values. Second, it's easy to see how many results are greater than 9, since they're all in one corner. And last, you can see just how many are even and how many are odd. Remember to reduce your fractions in the end.
