The pregnancy length in days for a population of new mothers can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 269 day

s and a standard deviation of 8 days. ​(a) What is the minimum pregnancy length that can be in the top 12% of pregnancy​ lengths? ​(b) What is the maximum pregnancy length that can be in the bottom 3​% of pregnancy​ lengths?

Answer:

a) 279 b)254

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 269 days

standard deviation = 8 days

let n be the pregnancy lenght.  

using normal distribution formula

z = (n – mean)/ standard deviation

n = z * standard deviation + mean

Now, z values for the top 12% has to be found using a z table.

The top 12% means 88% of area under the curve. In this case z = 1,176

n = 1,176 * 8 + 269

n = 278.4 = 279

The bottom 3% means 97% of area under the curve. In this case z = -1,882

n = -1,882 * 8 + 269

n = 253.94 = 254

7.) Area of a square pyramid is given by A = s^2 + 2sl; where s is the side length of the base and l is the slant height.
Area of given pyramid = 4^2 + (2 x 4 x 7) = 16 + 56 = 72 ft^2

8.) Area of the given pyramid is the area of the hexagonal base plus the area of the six slant triangles.
Area of hexagonal base = (3sqrt(3))/2 x 10^2 = 150 x 1.732 = 259.8
Area of the 6 traingles = 6(1/2 x 10 x 13) = 6 x 65 = 390
Total surface area of the pyramid = 259.8 + 390 = 649.8 ≈ 650 m^2

9.) Using pythagoras rule, the slant height is sqrt(6^2 + 3.5^2) = sqrt(36 + 12.25) = sqrt(48.25) = 6.9 mm

10.) The surface area of a cone is given by πr^2 + πrl
Area = π x 6^2 + π x 6 x 20 = 36π + 120π = 490.1 cm^2

11.) l = sqrt(r^2 + h^2) = sqrt(11^2 + 16^2) = sqrt(121 + 256) = sqrt(377) = 19m

does the following system of equations have a solution if so find it. 2x+y+z= 4 x-y+3z= -2 -x+y+z= -2
saul85 [17]
I'd suggest using "elimination by addition and subtraction" here, altho' there are other approaches (such as matrices, substitution, etc.).

Note that if you add the 3rd equation to the second, the x terms cancel out, and you are left with the system

 - y + 3z = -2
   y  + z  =  -2
-----------------
         4z = -4, so z = -1.

Next, multiply the 3rd equation by 2:  You'll get -2x + 2y + 2z = -2.

Add this result to the first equation.  The 2x terms will cancel, leaving you with the system

2y + 2z = -2
  y  +  z  = 4

This would be a good time to subst. -1 for z.  We then get:

-2y - 2 = -2.  Then y must be 0.  y = 0.

Now subst. -1 for z and 0 for y in any of the original equations.

For example, x - (-1) + 3(0) = -2, so x + 1 = -2, or x = -3.

Then a tentative solution is     (-3, -1, 0).

It's very important that you ensure that this satisfies all 3 of the originale quations.
