The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 267 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. a. Find the pro

bability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer. b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 4​%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

Answer:

We have a normal distribution with a mean of 267 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. To solve this proble we're going to need the help of a calculator.

a. The probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer is:

P(z>309) = 0.0026 or 0.26%

b. The lowest 4% is separeted by the 240.74 days. The probability of pregnancy lasting 240.74 days is 4%.

Answer:

a) 0.26% probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer.

b) A pregnancy length of 241 days separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using 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 problem, we have that:

\mu = 267, \sigma = 15

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 309. So

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

Z = \frac{309 - 267}{15}

Z = 2.8

Z = 2.8 has a pvalue of 0.9974

So there is a 1-0.9974 = 0.0026 = 0.26% probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer.

b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 4​%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.04. So X when Z = -1.75

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

-1.75 = \frac{X - 267}{15}

X - 267 = -1.75*15

X = 240.75

A pregnancy length of 241 days separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

What is the range of f(x) = – 4?
Andre45 [30]
The answer is -4. The range is the y-value and when you  say f(x) that is the same thing as y, so if f(x) = -4 that means y = -4 which means the range is -4.

jasenka [17]
The length is 4 yards longer than 3width so L = 3W+4
perimeter equal 408 yards

perimeter equal 2L +2W = 2(3W+4)+2W 

408 = 6W +8 +2W
400=8W

W = 50

L = 3*50 +4 = 154

L = 154
W = 50

P = 2L +2W
408 = 2*50 +2*154
408 = 100 +308
408 = 408

hope that this is easy understandably
