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

photoshop1234 [79]

Complete Question:

Attached below as picture.

Answer:

From first graph there is no linear pattern so here linearity assumption violated.

From second graph there is observation is in some pattern like funnel or v shape so there is no constant variance occur that is there is no constant variance for error.

Constant variance for error occur when in residual plot all observation are in scatter everywhere.

From third graph we can say there is positive distribution but for regression analysis we need symmetric that is normal distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

See graphs attached below.

Please answer all questions thank you.

1) 78.5/pi = 25
radius = 5
The one 5 digits away from that coordinate is (2,-1)

2) This question is area, not perimeter. The width and length has to be added by 4 because of 2 feet on both sides.
9*10 = 90 - 30 = 60

3) 25pi according to pythagorean theorem.

What is the value of b for the following circle in general form? x2 + y2 + ax +by+c=0​
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>(1).</em></u> (x - <em>h</em>)² + (y - <em>k</em>)² = <em>r</em>²

where <em>(h, k)</em> are coordinates of a center of the circle with radius <em>r</em>

<u><em>(2).</em></u> ( a ± b )² = a² ± 2ab + b²

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( 1 , - 2 ) ; r = 3

( x - 1 )² + ( y + 2 )² = 3²

x² - 2x + 1 + y² + 4y + 4 = 9

x² + y² - 2x + 4y - 4 = 0

a = - 2

b = 4

c = - 4
