Answer:
yes indeed gl
Step-by-step explanation:
C (third graph, the parabola); To find if it is a function or not draw a vertical line on the graph. If the vertical line could never intercept the figure more than once anywhere on the graph then it is a function.
First, find the z-score:
z = (value - mean) / sdev
= (275 - 280) / 15
= - 0.33
In order to use a standard normal table, we need a positive z-score:
P(z < -0.33) = 1 - P(z < 0.33)
Looking at the table, we find P(z < 0.33) = 0.6293
Therefore:
P(z < -0.33) = 1 - 0.6293 = 0.3707
Hence, you have a probability of about 37% <span>that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 275 days.</span>

Answer:
split the number into equal pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming "splitting any number" means identifying parts that have the number as their sum, the maximum product of the parts will be found where the parts all have equal values.
We have to assume that the number being split is positive and all of the parts are positive.
<h3>2 parts</h3>
If we divide number n into parts x and (n -x), their product is the quadratic function x(n -x). The graph of this function opens downward and has zeros at x=0 and x=n. The vertex (maximum product) is halfway between the zeros, at x = (0 + n)/2 = n/2.
<h3>3 parts</h3>
Similarly, we can look at how to divide a (positive) number into 3 parts that have the largest product. Let's assume that one part is x. Then the other two parts will have a maximum product when they are equal. Their values will be (n-x)/2, and their product will be ((n -x)/2)^2. Then the product of the three numbers is ...
p = x(x^2 -2nx +n^2)/4 = (x^3 -2nx^2 +xn^2)/4
This will be maximized where its derivative is zero:
p' = (1/4)(3x^2 -4nx +n^2) = 0
(3x -n)(x -n) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
x = n/3 or n
We know that x=n will give a minimum product (0), so the maximum product is obtained when x = n/3.
<h3>more parts</h3>
A similar development can prove by induction that the parts must all be equal.
