Five minutes after birth, a newborn is pale; has irregular, slow respirations; has a heart rate of 120 beats/min; displays minim
al flexion of the extremities; and has minimal reflex responses. What is this newborn’s Apgar score? Record your answer using a whole number.
1 answer:
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The Apgar score is calculated based on 5 medical criteria:
-Appearance – skin color
-Pulse – heart rate (taken with a stethoscope or by feeling the umbilical cord)
-Grimace – reflex response
-Activity – muscle tone
-Respiration – breathing quality
Each one of the criteria is evaluated on a 0 to 2 scale, once every criteria are measured, the values are added up and the child would have an Apgar score between 0 and 10.
Here:
Apparence = 0
Pulse = 2
Grimace = 1
Activity = 1
Respiration = 1
Total= 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

<h3>What is probability?</h3>Probability is the aspect of mathematics that focus on the occurrence of a random event.
This is calculated below:
The normal random variable having the mean is been given as :
(Mu = 31.8)
The standard deviation is been given as ( sd = 4.5)
Then in making our calculation, we will need to make use of the formular below:
But we know that going with the probability of 0.08
where k = 1.4051
P (Z > 1.4051)
k = 1.4051
we can have the expression for k as
This can be simplified as:
X = 4.5 (1.4051) + 31.8 = 38.1230.
Therefore, the demand that has an 8% probability of being exceeded is 38.1230 .
