TotCo is developing a new deluxe baby bassinet. If the length of a newborn baby is normally distributed with a mean of 50 cm and

a standard deviation of 5 cm, what should be the interior length of the bassinet to ensure that 99 percent of newborn babies will fit, with a safety margin of 15 cm on each end of the bassinet?

Answer:

91.63 cm is the interior length of the bassinet to ensure that 99 percent of newborn babies will fit, with a safety margin of 15 cm on each end of the bassinet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 50 cm

Standard Deviation, σ = 5 cm

We are given that the distribution of  length of a newborn baby is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(X<x) = 0.99

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.99

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 50}{5})=0.99  

Calculation the value from standard normal table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 50}{5} = 2.326\\x = 61.63  

Thus, 99% of newborn babies will have a length of 61.63 cm or less.

There is a safety margin of 15 cm on each end of the bassinet

Length of bassinet =

61+63 + 15 +15 = 91.63\text{ cm}

2  if zero proceeding the decimal point also work as non zero figure

3 zero are following the decimal point and proceeding the first non zero digit

4 Zero in between 2 non zero digits are also significant

5 if 1 zero follow the decimal point


790  :-    2 significant figures

0.0391 :-  3 significant figures ( follow 3 rule)

81.05  :- 4 significant figures  ( rule 4)

Furkat [3]

Answer:

D. 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is found by

d = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

   sqrt( (4 -4)^2 + (-5-7)^2)

 sqrt((0^2 + (-12)^2)

 sqrt(0+144)

sqrt(144)
