Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: Weight of a male baby (pounds)

X~N(μ;σ²)

μ= 11.5 pounds

σ= 2.7 pounds

a) Find the 81st percentile of the baby weights.

This percentile is the value that separates the bottom 81% of the distribution from the top 19%

P(X≤x₁)= 0.81

For this you have to use the standard normal distribution. First you have to look the 81st percentile under the Z distribution and then "translate" it to a value of the variable X using the formula Z= (X- μ)/σ

P(Z≤z₁)= 0.81

z₁= 0.878

z₁= (x₁- μ)/σ

z₁*σ= x₁- μ

(z₁*σ) + μ= x₁

x₁= (z₁*σ) + μ

x₁= (2.7*0.878)+11.5

x₁= 13.8706 pounds

b) Find the 10th percentile of the baby weights.

P(X≤x₂)= 0.10

P(Z≤z₂)= 0.10

z₂= -1.282

z₂= (x₂- μ)/σ

z₂*σ= x₂- μ

(z₂*σ) + μ= x₂

x₂= (z₂*σ) + μ

x₂= (2.7*-1.282)+11.5

x₂= 8.0386 pounds

c) Find the first quartile of the baby weights.

P(X≤x₃)= 0.25

P(Z≤z₃)= 0.25

z₃= -0.674

z₃= (x₃- μ)/σ

z₃*σ= x₃- μ

(z₃*σ) + μ= x₃

x₃= (z₃*σ) + μ

x₃= (2.7*-0.674)+11.5

x₃= 9.6802 pounds

I hope this helps!

Which of the following represents the set of possible rational roots for the polynomial shown below?
andriy [413]
You need to work out the variables of 20 (the last number) first: 
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 
Lets call these folks "p" 
At that point you need to work out the components of the main coefficient (the number before the most astounding force of x): 
1 
Lets call this person "q" 
At that point you need to make all the conceivable divisions you can with: 
±p/q 
Since q is only 1, we are fortunate, so the conceivable normal roots are: 
±1/1,±2/1,±4/1,±5/1.±10/1,±20/1

Let U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, A = {1,3,5,7,9}, B = {2,4,6,8,10} and C = {1,2,3,4} find (i) U' ii) A∩A' iii) A – ( B U C) iv) A
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

(i) U' = Φ

(ii) A∩A' = Φ

(iii) A – ( B U C) = {5,7,9}

(iv) A' U ( B U C ) = {2,4,6,8,10}

(v) A' U ( B' ∩ C') = {2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby t months after birth can be modeled by the equation W=10+2t What is the slope of the eq
Zanzabum

Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

W=10+2t has the form y = mx + b, the slope-intercept form.  Comparing

y = b + mx to

w = 10 + 2t

we see that the slope, m, is 2.  This signifies that the baby gains 2 pounds per month shortly after birth.
