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

A linear revenue function is R = 12x. (Assume R is measured in dollars.) what is the slope? What is the revenue received from se
kherson [118]

Answer:

12 ; 12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Revenue function, R = 12x

R is in dollars

Now,

The slope can be found out by differentiating the above revenue function w.r.t 'x'

thus,

\frac{\textup{dR}}{\textup{dx}}= \frac{\textup{d(12x)}}{\textup{dx}}

or

slope = 12

Now, for the second case of selling one more unit i.e x = 1, the revenue can be obtained by substituting x = 1 in revenue function

therefore,

R = 12 × 1 = 12 dollars
