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.

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)

Answer:

  • 171/40 or 4 11/40

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>AP given</h3>
  • a + b, a - b,  ab, a/b
<h3>To find</h3>
  • 6th term
<h3>Solution</h3>

Common difference

<u>Difference of first two</u>

  • d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b

<u>Difference of second two</u>

  • d= ab - (a - b)

<u>Difference of last two</u>

  • d = a/b - ab

<u>Now comparing d:</u>

  • -2b = ab - (a - b)
  • ab - a = - 3b
  • a(1 - b) = 3b
  • a = 3b/(1 - b)

and

  • a/b - ab = -2b
  • a(1/b - b) = -2b
  • a = 2b²/(b² - 1)

<u>Eliminating a:</u>

  • 2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)
  • 2b/(b+1) = -3
  • 2b = -3b - 3
  • 5b = - 3
  • b = -3/5

<u>Finding a:</u>

  • a = 3b/(1 - b) =
  • 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) =
  • -9/5*5/8 =
  • -9/8

<u>So the first term is:</u>

  • a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40

<u>Common difference:</u>

  • d = -2b = -2(-3/5) = 6/5

<u>The 6th term:</u>

  • a₆ = a₁ + 5d =
  • -69/40 + 5*6/5 =
  • -69/40 + 240/40 =
  • 171/40 = 4 11/40
