Newborn males have weights with a mean of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation of 660.2 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean

of 3037.1 g and a standard deviation of 706.3 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1500 g or a female who weighs 1500 g?

The correct option is:   a female who weighs 1500 g

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

<u>Formula for finding the z-score</u> is:  z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Newborn males have weights with a mean(\mu) of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation(\sigma) of 660.2 g.

So, the z-score for the newborn male who weighs 1500 g will be.......

z(X=1500)=\frac{1500-3272.8}{660.2}=-2.685... \approx -2.69

According to the normal distribution table,  P(z=-2.69)=0.0036 = 0.36\%

Now, newborn females have weights with a mean(\mu) of 3037.1 g and a standard deviation(\sigma) of 706.3 g.


So, the z-score for the newborn female who weighs 1500 g will be.......

z(X=1500)=\frac{1500-3037.1}{706.3}=-2.176... \approx -2.18

According to the normal distribution table,  P(z=-2.18)=0.0146 = 1.46\%

As we can see that the <u>probability that a newborn female has weight of 1500 g is greater than newborn male</u>,  so a newborn female has the weight of 1500 g that is more extreme relative to the group from which he came.

B(n)=-4-2(n-1) <br> find the12th term in the sequence
bixtya [17]

Answer:

The 12th term in the sequence is b(12)= -26

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 12th term, that means we need to find what the value of b is when n=12

To find b:

  • Substitute all 'n' with 12 (since its the 12th term)

                    b(n)= -4-2(n-1)

                    b(12)= -4-2(12-1)

  • Solve the equation in order of BEDMAS (aka PEDMAS)

                    b(12)= -4-2(11)

                            = -4- (2*11)

                            = -4-(22)

                            = -26

The  12th term in the sequence is b(12)= -26
