Answer:

Required Probability = 0.1283 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that at Meadow brook Hospital, the mean weight of babies born to full-term pregnancies is 7 lbs with a standard deviation of 14 oz.

Firstly, standard deviation in lbs = 14 ÷ 16 = 0.875 lbs.

Also, Birth weights of babies born to full-term pregnancies follow roughly a Normal distribution.

Let X = mean weight of the babies, so X ~ N(\mu = 7 lbs , \sigma^{2}  = 0.875^{2}  lbs)

The standard normal z distribution is given by;

              Z = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, X bar = sample mean weight

             n = sample size = 4

Now, probability that the average weight of the four babies will be more than 7.5 lbs = P(X bar > 7.5 lbs)

P(X bar > 7.5) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{7.5-7}{\frac{0.875}{\sqrt{4} } }  ) = P(Z > 1.1428) = 0.1283 (using z% table)

Therefore, the probability that the average weight of the four babies will be more than 7.5 lbs is 0.1283 .

irina [24]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to complete the square, you need to have the x values together, not the constant.

To complete the square <em>correctly </em>you would need to have x² - 20x = -6 and continue from there; divide 20 by 2 and square the result to get (x - 10)² = 96.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because they wouldn't contain the same amount of sugar per cookie  

for the first recipe - 24 cookies with 6 tablespoons  

thats 6/24 so 0.25 tablespoons of sugar per cookie  

for the second recipe - 36 cookies with 10 tablespoons  

thats 10/36 so 0.276 tablespoons per cookie  

the cookies in the second recipe would be slightly sweeter than the cookies in the first
