a study studied the birth weights of 1,999 babies born in the United States. The mean weight was 3234 grams with a standard devi

ation of 871 grams. Assume that birth weight data are approximately bell-shaped. Estimate the number of newborns who weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams. Write only a number as your answer. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

1899

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 3234

Standard deviation = 871

Percentage of newborns who weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams:

1492 = 3234 - 2*871

So 1492 is two standard deviations below the mean.

4976 = 3234 + 2*871

So 4976 is two standard deviations above the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of newborns weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams.

Out of 1999:

0.95*1999 = 1899

So the answer is 1899

Answer:

x = 1 ± \sqrt{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² - 4x = 10 ( divide through by 2 )

x² - 2x = 5

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 1)x + 1 = 5 + 1

(x - 1)² = 6 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 1 = ± \sqrt{6} ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 1 ± \sqrt{6} ← exact solutions

Alison knits 1/10 of scarf in 4/5 of an hour. what fraction of a scarf can alison knit in 1 hour? and how do u solve it?
pav-90 [236]
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
 1/10 scarf ------> 4/5 hour
 x ------------------> 1 hour
 Clearing the value of x we have:
 x = (1 / (4/5)) * (1/10)
 Rewriting we have:
 x = (5/4) * (1/10)
 x = 5/40
 x = 1/8
 Answer:
 
A fraction of a scarf that alison can knit in 1 hour is:
 
x = 1/8
