Is smoking during pregnancy associated with premature births? To investigate this question, researchers selected a random sample

of 128 pregnant women who were smokers. The average pregnancy length for this sample of smokers was 265 days. From a large body of research, it is known that length of human pregnancy has a standard deviation of 16 days. The researchers assume that smoking does not affect the variability in pregnancy length. Find the 90% confidence interval to estimate the length of pregnancy for women who smoke. (Note: The critical z -value to use, z c , is: 1.645) ( , ) Your answer should be rounded to 3 decimal places.

Answer:

Confidence interval is 128±2.326 days (between 125.674 days and 130.326 days) in 90% confidence level

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be calculated as M±ME where

  • M is the average pregnancy days of smoking women and
  • ME is the margin of error in 90% confidence level.

Margin of Error in 90% confidence level can be calculated using the formula:

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the z-value in 90% confidence level (1.645)
  • s is the standard deviation of pregnancy length (16)
  • N is the sample size (128)

putting these  numbers in the formula, we get:

ME=\frac{1.645*16}{\sqrt{128} } =2.326

then confidence interval is 128±2.326 ( between 125.674 and 130.326 ) in 90% confidence level

Answer:22/

9

= 2 4/

9

≅ 2.4444444

Step-by-step explanation:

Add: -19 + 9 = -10

Absolute value: abs(the result of step No. 1) = abs(-10) = 10

Divide: the result of step No. 2 / 3 = 10 / 3 = 3.3333333333333 = 10/

3

Subtract: 14 - 22 = -8

Absolute value: abs(the result of step No. 4) = abs(-8) = 8

Divide: the result of step No. 5 / 9 = 8 / 9 = 0.88888888888889 = 8/

9

Subtract: the result of step No. 3 - the result of step No. 6 = 10/

3

- 8/

9

= 10 · 3/

3 · 3

- 8/

9

= 30/

9

- 8/

9

= 30 - 8/

9

= 22/
