In the United States, the mean birth weight for boys is 3.41 kg with a standard deviation of 0.55 kg. Assume that the distributi

Answer:

The proportion of baby boys in the United States that are born with low birth weight is 0.0495.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

3.41 kg with a standard deviation of 0.55 kg.

This means that $\mu = 3.41, \sigma = 0.55$

What proportion of baby boys in the United States are born with low birth weight?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{2.5 - 3.41}{0.55}$

$Z = -1.65$

$Z = -1.65$ has a pvalue of 0.0495

The proportion of baby boys in the United States that are born with low birth weight is 0.0495.

galben [10]

Answer:

$2.3\times 10^{-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

$2.9\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(x)(x)^2(4.6)}{(4.6)^2(3)^2}$

$2.9\times 10^{-7}=\frac{x^3}{9\times 4.6}$

$(\because a^m = \frac{1}{a^{-m}})$

By cross multiplication,

$2.9\times 9\times 4.6\times 10^{-7}=x^3$

$120.06\times 10^{-7}=x^3$

$\implies x = (120.06\times 10^{-7})^\frac{1}{3}$

$=0.0228980999294$

$\approx 0.023$

$=2.3\times 10^{-2}$

Explain the 'price effect' for normal 'substitutes' and 'complementary' goods.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

When the price of a good that complements a good decrease, then the quantity demanded of one increases and the demand for the other increases. When the price of a substitute good decreases, the quantity demanded that good increases, but the demand for the good that it is being substituted for decreases.
