Answer:

  x = 41 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 1/2)x -(3/4)(2x +5) = 38

(2 1/2)x -(1 1/2)x -15/4 = 38 . . . . use the distributive property

x = 38 +3 3/4 . . . . . . add 15/4

x = 41 3/4

_____

Another way to solve this is to "clear fractions" by multiplying the whole equation by 4:

  10x -3(2x +5) = 152

  4x -15 = 152 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4x = 167 . . . . . . . add 15

  x = 41 3/4 . . . . . . divide by 4

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the length of pregnancy.

X is N(268, 15)

a) Prob of pregnancy lasting 307 days or longer

= P(X>307) = P(Z>\frac{307-268}{15} )\\=P(Z>2.6)\\

=0.5-0.4953

=0.0047

b) Lowest 2% is 2nd percentile

Z=-2.55

X score = 268-2.55(15)

= 229.75 days

If length of days >230 days then it is not premature.

Is a linear model or a quadratic model a better fit
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Quadratic

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations are straight lines while quadratics are curved in a "u" shape. These points have a vertex and go up on both sides, a quadratic would be able to better fit this since their y values repeat, unlike linear models.
