The length of the human pregnancy is not fixed. It is known that it varies according to a distribution which is roughly normal,

with a mean of 266 days, and a standard deviation of 16 days. a. Fill in the curve below with the % and X-axis b. Approximately what percent of pregnancy are between 234 and 298 days c. Approximately what percent of pregnancy are between 250 and 314 days d. Approximately what percent of pregnancy are below 218

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) P(234

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(234

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 95%

c) P(250

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 34+34+13.5+2.35%=83.85%

d) P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

And that correspond to approximately 0.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we can see the figure attached.

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part b

Let X the random variable that represent the length of human pregnancy of a population, and for this case we know that:

Where \mu=266 and \sigma=16

We are interested on this probability

P(234

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(234

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 95%

Part c

P(250

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 34+34+13.5+2.35%=83.85%

Part d

We want this probability:

P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

And that correspond to approximately 0.15%

Does anyone know this?
zzz [600]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x=1, we can simplify the equation to 9+7y=-12.

To find the value of 7y, we first have to find what is missing.

-12-9=-21, so 7y has to be equal to -21. -21/7 equals -3, so y=-3.

Based on what you know now, how are linear and exponential functions alike?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

They're similar in that they both have to maintain a steady rate of rise as they grow. While graphing, you can't adjust the slope or exponent after traveling up a graph.

Phil has two rectangular prisms. The height of the second prism is 1/2 times the height of the first prism. The lengths and widt
Vesnalui [34]

The volume of the second prism is also ten times the volume of the first prism.

Let's assume that both prisms have:

width = 3 units

height = 4 units

Prism 1 length = 5 units

Prism 2 length = 50 units

Let's solve their respective volumes to compare...

Volume of prism 1 = length * width * height

                             = 5 * 3 * 4

                             = 60 units ^3

Volume of prism 2 = 50 * 3 * 4

                             = 600 units ^3

Prism 2/ prism 1 = 10

That means prism 2 is ten times the volume of prism 1.

Sarawongs school is selling tickets to the anual talent show on the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and
vaieri [72.5K]

Price of one adult ticket is $9 and price of one student ticket is also $9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Adult ticket = x

Student ticket = y

According to given statement;

x+2y=27   Eqn 1

2x+2y=36   Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2;

(2x+2y)-(x+2y)=36-27\\2x+2y-x-2y=9\\x=9

Putting x=9 in Eqn 1;

9+2y=27\\2y=27-9\\2y=18

Dividing both sides by 2;

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\\y=9

Price of one adult ticket is $9 and price of one student ticket is also $9.
