A certain paper suggested that a normal distribution with mean 3,500 grams and a standard deviation of 560 grams is a reasonable

model for birth weights of babies born in Canada.
One common medical definition of a large baby is any baby that weighs more than 4,000 grams at birth.
What is the probability that a randomly selected Canadian baby is a large baby?

Answer: the probability that a randomly selected Canadian baby is a large baby is 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the birth weights of babies born in Canada is assumed to be normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = birth weights of babies

µ = mean weight

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 3500 grams

σ = 560 grams

We want to find the probability or that a randomly selected Canadian baby is a large baby(weighs more than 4000 grams). It is expressed as

P(x > 4000) = 1 - P(x ≤ 4000)

For x = 4000,

z = (4000 - 3500)/560 = 0.89

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.81

P(x > 4000) = 1 - 0.81 = 0.19

Find the surface area of each prism
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.

Surface area = ( 6 *10 ) *3  + ( ( 7*4.87) /2)*2 = 180 + 34.09 = 214.09

3.

Surface area = (5*10) *3 + (( 7*4.2)/2)*2 = 150 +29.4 = 179.4
