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)

Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl. In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl. How old are the girls n
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Cheryl's age = x = 7 years

Rita's age = y = 17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cheryl's age = x

Rita's age = y

Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl

(y - 2) = 3(x - 2)

y - 2 = 3x - 6

y = 3x - 6 + 2

= 3x - 4

y = 3x - 4

In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl

(y + 3) = 2(x + 3)

y + 3 = 2x + 6

y = 2x + 6 - 3

= 2x + 3

y = 2x + 3

Equate both equations

3x - 4 = 2x + 3

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 3 + 4

x = 7 years

Substitute x = 7 into

y = 2x + 3

= 2(7) + 3

= 14 + 3

= 17

y = 17 years

Cheryl's age = x = 7 years

Rita's age = y = 17 years
