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 .

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 6

y = (6-x)

7x +12y = 52

7x+12(6-x) = 52

7x +72 -12x = 52

-5x = -20

x= 4     4 days at $7  = $28

           2 days at $12 = $24

 28+24 = 52

Line GH contains points (-2,6) and H (5,-3). What is the slope of GH
svetlana [45]

Answer:

    -9/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope given 2 points, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

 where (x1,y2) and (x2,y2) are the two points

m = (-3-6)/(5--2)

m = (-3-6)/(5+2)

   = -9/7

An investor invested a total of $2,800 in two mutual funds. One fund earned 5% profit while the other earned 3% profit. If the i
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5%

y ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3%

we know that

x+y=2,800 ----> y=2,800-x ----> equation A

5\%=5/100=0.05

3\%=3/100=0.03

0.05x+0.03y=104 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

0.05x+0.03(2,800-x)=104

Solve for x

0.05x+84-0.03x=104

0.05x-0.03x=104-84

0.02x=20

x=\$1,000

<em>Find the value of y</em>

y=2,800-x

y=2,800-1,000=\$1,800

therefore

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000 and the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800
