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

The choice C.94

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3( {4}^{2}  + 1)) -  {2}^{3}  \\  \\ 2(3(16 + 1)) - 8 \\  \\ 2(3(17)) - 8 \\  \\ 2(51) - 8 \\  \\ 102 - 8 = 94

Using the Law of Cosines, in triangle DEF, if e=18yd, d=10yd, f=22yd, find measurement of angle D
Ivahew [28]
Check the picture below.

\bf \textit{Law of Cosines}\\ \quad \\
c^2 = {{ a}}^2+{{ b}}^2-(2{{ a}}{{ b}})cos(C)\implies 
c = \sqrt{{{ a}}^2+{{ b}}^2-(2{{ a}}{{ b}})cos(C)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{{{ a}}^2+{{ b}}^2-c^2}{2{{ a}}{{ b}}}=cos(C)\implies cos^{-1}\left(\cfrac{{{ a}}^2+{{ b}}^2-c^2}{2{{ a}}{{ b}}}\right)=\measuredangle C\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
d=10\\
e=18\\
f=22
\end{cases}\implies cos^{-1}\left(\cfrac{{{ 18}}^2+{{ 22}}^2-10^2}{2(18)(22)}\right)=\measuredangle D

\bf \implies cos^{-1}\left(0.893\overline{93}\right)=\measuredangle D\implies 26.63^o\approx \measuredangle D

Which of the functions below could have created this graph?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Two facts need to guide your answer.

One

The highest power is odd: you know this because an even power would start on the left come down do it's squiggles if had any and wind up on the right going up.

This graph comes down on the left does it's squiggles and then goes further down on the right. That's the behavior of something whose highest power is odd.

Two

The leading coefficient,  the number in front of the highest power must be minus. If it was positive as in y = x^3 the graph would be the mirror image of what it is.

Argument

B and D cannot be true. The highest power is even.

C is false because the leading coefficient is + 1.

So that leave A which is the answer.

The graph is included with this answer
