The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to an approximately normal distribution with a mean of
266 days and a standard deviation of 16 days.
A) What percentage of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days?
B) Between what values do the lengths of the middle 95% of all pregnancies fall?

1 answer:
Answer:
A) 68.33%
B) (234, 298)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the mean is 266 days (m) and the standard deviation is 16 days (sd), so we are asked:
A. P (250 x < 282)
P ((x1 - m) / sd < x < (x2 - m) / sd)
P ((250 - 266) / 16 < x < (282 - 266) / 16)
P (- 1 < z < 1)
P (z < 1) - P (-1 < z)
If we look in the normal distribution table we have to:
P (-1 < z) = 0.1587
P (z < 1) = 0.8413
replacing
0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6833
The percentage of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days is 68.33%
B. We apply the experimental formula of 68-95-99.7
For middle 95% it is:
(m - 2 * sd, m + 2 * sd)
Thus,
m - 2 * sd <x <m + 2 * sd
we replace
266 - 2 * 16 <x <266 + 2 * 16
234 <x <298
That is, the interval would be (234, 298)

Notice that every pair of point (x, y) in the original picture, has become (-y, -x) in the transformed figure.
Let ABC be first transformed onto A"B"C" by a 90° clockwise rotation.
Notice that B(4, 1) is mapped onto B''(1, -4). So the rule mapping ABC to A"B"C" is (x, y)→(y, -x)
so we are very close to (-y, -x).
The transformation that maps (y, -x) to (-y, -x) is a reflection with respect to the y-axis. Notice that the 2. coordinate is same, but the first coordinates are opposite.
