The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately normal with me

an 267 days and standard deviation 19 days. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to answer the following questions.
(a) Between what values do the lengths of the middle 95% of all pregnancies fall?_____________and___________days

(b) How short are the shortest 2.5% of all pregnancies?______days or less

c) How long do the longest 2.5% of pregnancies last?________days or more

Answer:

a) 229 and 305 days

b) 229 days or less

c) 305 days or more

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule(68-95-99.7 rule) states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 267

Standard deviation = 19

(a) Between what values do the lengths of the middle 95% of all pregnancies fall?_____________and___________days

By the Empirical rule, 95% of all pregnancies fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

So

267 - 2*19 = 229 days

to

267 + 2*19 = 305 days

(b) How short are the shortest 2.5% of all pregnancies?______days or less

95% of all pregnancies fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The other 5% are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean. Since the distribution is symmetric, 2.5% is more than 2 standard deviations below the mean(shortest 2.5%) and 2.5% is more than 2 standard deviations above the mean(longest 2.5%). So

267 - 2*19 = 229 days

c) How long do the longest 2.5% of pregnancies last?________days or more

Explanation in b)

267 + 2*19 = 305 days

Algebra identify the pattern. Then write the next three terms in each sequence. 63,58,53,48.....
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:43, 38, 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The pattern is subtracting 5

63 -5 = 58

58 - 5 = 53

53 - 5 = 48

48 - 5 = 43

43 - 5 = 38

38 - 5 = 33

8 Darpan runs a distance of 12 km and then cycles a distance of 26 km. His running speed is x km/h and his cycling speed is 10 k
Sonja [21]

The equation in terms of x, for the total time he takes in hours would be 2.48 = 12/x  + 26/10x

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be calculated as the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken

Darpan runs a distance of 12 km and then cycles a distance of 26 km.

Total distance = 12 + 26 = 38km

The running speed is x km/h

A = x

The cycling speed is 10 km/h faster than his running speed

B = 10x

He takes a total time of 2 hours and 48 minutes.

So, the total time he takes

Time = Distance x speed

2.48 = 12/x  + 26/10x

10x(2.48) = 120 + 26

24.8x = 146

x = 5.8
