Answer:

68.26% probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 7.5, \sigma = 1.1

What is the probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.6 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 6.4. So

X = 8.6

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{8.6 - 7.5}{1.1}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 6.4

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6.4 - 7.5}{1.1}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826

68.26% probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

Each year, Andrea donates a total of $800 for scholarships at her local community college. This year, she wants the amount she d
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The equation is L + B = \$800

Andrea will donate $200 for business scholarships and $600 for liberal arts scholarships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Liberal Arts with L and Business with B

From the question, we have that:

L = 3 * B

and

Total = \$800

Required

Determine how much she donates for each

The total L + B is 800

i.e.

L + B = \$800

Substitute 3 * B for L

3 * B + B = \$800

3  B + B = \$800

4B = \$800

Solve for B

B =\$800/4

B =\$200

Recall that :

L = 3 * B

L = 3 * \$200

L = \$600
