According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards, the head circumference for boys at birth is normally di

stributed with a mean of 34.5cm and a standard deviation of 1.3cm. For girls, the mean is 33.9cm with a standard deviation of 1.2cm. Eddie and Sue are twins. Eddie was born with a head circumference of 33.2cm and Sue was born with a head circumference of 32.7cm.
Which child's head circumference is smaller relative to other children of the same sex?

A.Eddie

B.Sue

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Answer:

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

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1

And for the case of Sue we got:

z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable X as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X\sim N(\mu = 34.5, \sigma=1.3)

Similarly we can define the random variable Y as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for Y is given by:

Y\sim N(\mu = 33.9, \sigma=1.2)

And we know that Eddie was born with 33.2 cm and Sue with 32.7 cm for the head circumference . Since we are interested to determine which child's head circumference is smaller relative to other children of the same sex, we can use the z score formula given by this formula:

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

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1

And for the case of Sue we got:

z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Help me please! which bisects the chord?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are given that chord AB's length is 8 and is bisected by segment XC, that means segment BC's length is 4 and ∠XCB is a right angle. From there, we use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for length XC:

4² + b² = 5² (Or remember 3-4-5 makes a Pythagorean triple)

c = √(5²-4²)

c = 3

a circle is divided into 18 equal parts how many degrees is the angle for each part? how many degrees is the angle for 5 parts?
Ket [755]
There are 360 degrees in a circle, and we have 18 pieces, so we need to see how many times 18 goes into 360. We can find this out by dividing.

360/18=20

You can check this by multiplying 20 and 18 (it equals 360)!

So, each fraction of the circle will be 20 degrees.

If you take 5 of these 20 degree pieces, you'll need to multiply them by 20 to see how many degrees they'd be.

You need to multiply by 20 because each piece is 20 degrees, and we need to find how many degrees 5 pieces is. It's the same as doing
20+20+20+20+20! :)

20*5=100. 5 parts will be 100 degrees.


Hope I helped! :)

Can someone please help me
Allisa [31]

Answer:

I think it is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason being because the question said at least 15 points more so it can't

be 12 equal to 12 points. so you could eliminate the greater than or equal to.

so that leaves c and d. can't see how it is D because if he has 15 points more can't see why his other portion of points could take away 15 so that leaves C.

hope that helps
