12x=4(x-5)

distributive property to get rid of parenthesis 12x=4x-20

subtract x from one side to get the variable on one side 8x=-20

divide 8 by -20

x=-2.5

The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with me

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

0.5466

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean 266 days and standard deviation 16 days.

Let X be the length of pregnancies

X is N(266,16)

To find out the probability that pregnancies last between 240 and 270 days (roughly between 8 months and 9 months)

P(240<x<270)

convert each into Z score as $z=\frac{x-266}{16}$
