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.

My professor showed us in class today how to use ode45 to solve a differential equation numerically. i would like to use it on m
Brilliant_brown [7]

Yes, ode45 can be used for higher-order differential equations. You need to convert the higher order equation to a system of first-order equations, then use ode45 on that system.

For example, if you have

... u'' + a·u' + b·u = f

you can define u1 = u, u2 = u' and now you have the system

... (u2)' + a·u2 + b·u1 = f

... (u1)' = u2

Rearranging, this is

... (u1)' = u2

... (u2)' = f - a·u2 - b·u1

ode45 is used to solve each of these. Now, you have a vector (u1, u2) instead of a scalar variable (u). A web search regarding using ode45 on higher-order differential equations can provide additional illumination, including specific examples.

Prime factor tree of 385
timama [110]


11*5*7 

385 breaks down to 7 and 55. Bring the seven down. Break 55 down to 11 and 5. Then bring those down and you get 11*5*7
