Answer:
91.63 cm is the interior length of the bassinet to ensure that 99 percent of newborn babies will fit, with a safety margin of 15 cm on each end of the bassinet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Mean, μ = 50 cm
Standard Deviation, σ = 5 cm
We are given that the distribution of length of a newborn baby is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
Formula:
P(X<x) = 0.99
We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.99
P(X < x)
Calculation the value from standard normal table, we have,
Thus, 99% of newborn babies will have a length of 61.63 cm or less.
There is a safety margin of 15 cm on each end of the bassinet
Length of bassinet =
