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.

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.

What is 0.625 as a fraction
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

.625 can equal 625/1000

and you can shrink the answer down with simplification.

cause you can divide both numerator and denominator by 5

625/1000 = 125/ 200

And we can divide both sides again by 5.

125/ 200 = 25/ 40

and we can divide both sides again by 5 once again.

25/ 40 = 5/ 8
