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.

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day
Anton [14]

Answer:

The most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day  Sunday-Saturday  can be approximated by

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37

Where  x represents the number of days after Sunday

T(x) represents the number of traffic tickets issued.

Sunday = x=0

Monday = x=1

Tuesday = x=2

Wednesday = x=3

Thursday = x =4

Friday = x=5

Saturday = x=6

Substitute  x= 0

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(0)^2 + 84(0) + 37\\T(x)=37

On Sunday 37 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 1

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(1)^2 + 84(1) + 37\\T(x)=115

On Monday 115 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 2

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(2)^2 + 84(2) + 37\\T(x)=181

On Tuesday 181 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 3

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(3)^2 + 84(3) + 37\\T(x)=235

On Wednesday 235 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 4

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(4)^2 + 84(4) + 37\\T(x)=277

On Thursday 277 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 5

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(5)^2 + 84(5) + 37\\T(x)=307

On Friday 307 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 6

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(6)^2 + 84(6) + 37\\T(x)=325

On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Hence the most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Show an example of commutative property of addition
vaieri [72.5K]
For example, if we use 5+3=8.
If you change it to 3+5, it still equals 8.
Therefore, 3+5=5+3 because at the end, they both have equal value aka both end up with 8 using the same numbers. (goes by the rule a+b=b+a)

Answer:

D: 14q + 21√qr

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the product of;

(2√q + 3√r) and 7√q.

Where p and q are integers.

Using distributive property, we have;

(2√q × 7√q) + (3√r × 7√q)

>> 14q + 21√qr

Correct option is D
