Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 25002500 grams and a standard deviation of

800800 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 27002700 grams and a standard deviation of 375375 grams. If a 3232​-week gestation period baby weighs 20252025 grams and a 4040​-week gestation period baby weighs 22252225 ​grams, find the corresponding​ z-scores. Which baby weighs lessless relative to the gestation​ period?

Answer:

32-35 Week case

z = \frac{2025-2500}{800}=-0.594

40 week case

z = \frac{2225-2700}{375}=-1.27

For this case since the z score is lower (-1.27<-0.574) for the baby of 40 week this one would be the baby that weighs less relative to the gestation period

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

32-35 Week case

Let X the random variable that represent the weight, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(2500,800)  

Where \mu=2500 and \sigma=800

The z score given by:

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

And if w replace for the value of x=2025 we got:

z = \frac{2025-2500}{800}=-0.594

40 week case

Let X the random variable that represent the weight, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(2700,375)  

Where \mu=2700 and \sigma=375

The z score given by:

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

And if w replace for the value of x=2225 we got:

z = \frac{2225-2700}{375}=-1.27

For this case since the z score is lower (-1.27<-0.574) for the baby of 40 week this one would be the baby that weighs less relative to the gestation period

How does the multiplicity of a zero affect the graph of the polynomial function?
enot [183]

Answer:

The multiplicity of a root affects the shape of graph of a polynomial. If a root of a polynomial has odd multiplicity, the graph will cross the x-axis at the root. If a root of a polynomial has even multiplicity, the graph will touch the x-axis at the root but will not cross the x-axis

The first term is 8 Each term is 4 more than double the previous term.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

8*2^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since we multiply from the previous term.

a_n = a_1 * common ratio^(n-1) where a_n is the nth number and a_1 is the first.

The first term is 8, so we have

a_n = 8*<common ratio>^(n-1) = 8*2^(n-1)
