The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with me
1 answer:
Answer:
0.5466
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean 266 days and standard deviation 16 days.
Let X be the length of pregnancies
X is N(266,16)
To find out the probability that pregnancies last between 240 and 270 days (roughly between 8 months and 9 months)
P(240<x<270)
convert each into Z score as
x=240 means Z = -1.625
x=270 means z=0.25

This question is basically the same as the other question of yours that I answered, so the explanation is very similar:
You can imagine the possibilities as leaves on a tree. Your tree has 2 large branches to represent the two possible sizes. Each of those branch off into 8 smaller branches, each representing a crust flavor. Each one of the smaller branches has 8 leaves to represent a different topping. Each leaf is a combination of a size, a crust flavor, and a topping, so it represents a complete pizza. Your job is to calculate the number of leaves.
