The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth follows a distribution with mean 266 days and standard deviation 15 day

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

a) 81.5%

b) 95%

c) 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 266 days

Standard Deviation, σ = 15 days

We are given that the distribution of length of human pregnancies is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

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

a) P(between 236 and 281 days)

$P(236 \leq x \leq 281)\\\\= P(\displaystyle\frac{236 - 266}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{281-266}{15})\\\\= P(-2 \leq z \leq 1)\\\\= P(z \leq 1) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.838 - 0.023 = 0.815 = 81.5\%$

b) a) P(last between 236 and 296)

$P(236 \leq x \leq 281)\\\\= P(\displaystyle\frac{236 - 266}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{296-266}{15})\\\\= P(-2 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.973 - 0.023 = 0.95 = 95\%$

c) If the data is not normally distributed.

Then, according to Chebyshev's theorem, at least $1-\dfrac{1}{k^2}$ data lies within k standard deviation of mean.

For k = 2

$1-\dfrac{1}{(2)^2} = 75\%$

Atleast 75% of data lies within two standard deviation for a non normal data.

Thus, atleast 75% of pregnancies last between 236 and 296 days approximately.

A taxi charges a base fee plus $0.75/km.

Naily [24]

a) The rate of change in this situation is 0.75 dollars/km

b) The equation for the cost of hiring a taxi in terms of length of the

trip is y = 0.75 x + b

c) The initial value represents in this situation is $1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

A taxi charges a base fee plus $0.75/km.
A 10-km trip costs $8.70

∵ A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity

changes in relation to another quantity

∵ The unit cost of a taxi is 0.75 dollars for each 1 kilometer

∴ The rate of change = 0.75 dollars/km

a) The rate of change in this situation is 0.75 dollars/km

Assume that the cost of hiring a taxi is $y for length of a trip x km

and a base fee of $b

∵ The length of the trip = x km

∵ The cost per km = $0.75

∵ The base fee = $b

∵ The cost of hiring a taxi = $y

- Write an equation for the the cost of hiring a taxi

∴ y = 0.75 x + b

b) The equation for the cost of hiring a taxi in terms of length

of the trip is y = 0.75 x + b

∵ The length of the trip is 10 km

∴ x = 10

∵ The cost of the hiring a taxi is $8.70

∴ y = 8.70

- Substitute these values in the equation of part (b)

∵ y = 0.75 x + b

∴ 8.70 = 0.75(10) + b

∴ 8.70 = 7.5 + b

- Subtract 7.5 from both sides

∴ 1.2 = b

∵ b is the base fee

∴ b is the initial value

∴ The initial value = $1.2

c) The initial value represents in this situation is $1.2

Answer:

The y-intercept is $b=0$

The y-intercept represents the initial quantity of gas in the canister which is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is where the graph of the straight line touches the y-axis.

From the graph, the y-intercept is the origin (0,0).

Recall that the slope intercept form of a straight line is $y=mx+b$ , where $b=0$ is the y-intercept in this case.

Since the graph represents the amount of gasoline in a canister after Joshua begins to fill it at the gas station pump, the y-intercept means the initial gallons of gas in the canister is zero.

PLEASE HELP!! I WILL BRAINLIEST

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

81.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = $\mu = 40$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 5$

Now we are supposed to find out what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

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

Substitute the values

$z = \frac{x-40}{5}$

Now for P(35<x<50)

Substitute x = 35

$z = \frac{35-40}{5}$

$z =-1$

Substitute x = 50

$z = \frac{50-40}{5}$

$z =2$

So, P(-1<z<2)

P(z<2)-P(z<-1)

=0.9772-0.1587

=0.8185

= $0.818 \times 100$

=81.8%

Hence 81.8% percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

A)4pi m B)8pi m C)16pi m D)10pi m

Paha777 [63]

Arc length has a formula that is similar to arc measure, but arc length is expressed in inches or meters or miles, etc., whereas measure is expressed in degrees, like an angle. The formula for each take this into account. Since the arc length is part of the length of the outside of the circle, the formula includes the circumference for a circle. $AL= \frac{ \theta }{360} * \pi d$ , where theta is the degree measure of the central angle intersecting the arc you're looking for, and d is the diameter of the circle. Our formula would look like this with the info we have: $AL= \frac{30}{360}* 24 \pi$ which can be simplified to $AL= \frac{1}{12}*24 \pi$ which can be simplified even further to $AL=2 \pi$ . And that's your answer!
