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)

Find the value of the combination. 10C0
Andrej [43]

Answer:The formula for a combination of choosing r unique ways from n possibilities is:

nCr  =   n!

  r!(n - r)!

where n is the number of items and r is the unique arrangements.

Plugging in our numbers of n = 10 and r = 0, we get

10C0  =   10!

  0!(10 - 0)!

10C0  =   3,628,800

  3,628,800

What are the coordinates of the intersection of the graphs of 3x - y^2 = 12 and y = -3
inessss [21]

Answer:

(7,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3

substitute in the first equation

3x - y^2 = 12

3x - (-3)^2 = 12

3x - 9 = 12

3x = 12 + 9

3x = 21

x = 7

coordinates of intersection (7,-3)

Factor the trinomial below. x2 – 2x – 35 A. (x – 5)(x + 7) B. (x – 5)(x – 7) C. (x + 5)(x – 7) D. (x + 5)(x + 7)
Sophie [7]
c. (x + 5)(x - 7)    use the FOIL method.

x² + 5x - 7x - 35

x² + (5x - 7x) - 35   collect like terms.

x² - 2x - 35   

hope that helps, God bless!
