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

I NEED HELP ASAP 85 POINTS At a bargain store, Tanya bought 5 items that each cost the same amount. Tony bought 3 items that eac
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 5x = 3(x - 2.5)

-----------------------

B)

Distribute

5x = 3x - 7.5

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x = -7.5

Divde both sides by 2

x = -3.75

-----------------------

C)

5 * (-3.75) = 3(-3.75 - 2.5)

-18.75 = -18.75

D)

Tanya paid –$3.75 for each of 5 items

Tony paid –$6.25 for each of 3 items

There seems to be an error in the question since the cost of items is negative

Tony bought fewer items and paid less for each.

Answer:

answer is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

EKJ = 90, same as JHF, and EJK is 65 (because EJF =115 and 180-115=65

65+90=155

180-155=25

Somebody please help me with this geometry work
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

m∠EGF = 65°  and m∠CGF = 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

∠EFG = 50°

EF = FG

Solution,

In ΔEFG m∠EFG = 50° and EF = FG.

Since triangle is an isosceles triangle hence their base angles are always equal.

∴m\angle FEG = m\angle EGF

Let the measure of ∠EGF  be x.

∴ m\angle FEG = m\angle EGF = x

Now by angle Sum property which states "The sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°."

m∠EFG + m∠FEG + ∠EGF = 180

50\°+x+x=180\°\\50\°+2x=180\°\\2x= 180\°-50\°\\2x=130\°\\x=\frac{130}{2}= 65\°

Hence

m∠EGF = 65°  

Also 'The sum of angles that are formed on a straight line is equal to 180°."

m∠EGF + m∠CGF = 180°

65° + m∠CGF = 180°

m∠CGF = 180° - 65° = 115°

Hence m∠EGF = 65°  m∠CGF = 115°

Subtract −7n+2 ​​from 2n−1 ​. What is the answer? A.−5n+1 B.9n−3 C.9n + 1 D.−9n+3
Ludmilka [50]
Make sure that the subtraction is set up in the correct order. We are subtracting -7+2 FROM 2n-1.

(2n-1) - (-7n+2)

Distribute the negative.

(2n-1) + (7n-2)

Combine like terms.

9n - 3

The answer is B.
