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

16x² +8-7x-3x2 - 13x
liq [111]

Answer:

13x^{2}-20x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: rearrange the equation

16x^2 - 3x^2 - 7x - 13x +8

Step 2: solve the equation

16x^2 - 3x^2 = 13x^2

-7x - 13x = -20x

(the +8 will stay the same)

so when we put it all together it gives us

13x^2 - 20x + 8

What is x2 + 2x + 9 = 0
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

x has no real solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is qudratic equation so the method we will follow to solve it is using the dicriminant :

  • Let Δ be the dicriminant
  • a=1
  • b=2
  • c=9
  • Δ= 2²-4*1*9 =4-36=-32
  • we notice that Δ≤0⇒x has no real solution
