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

AB = AC, so this is an isosceles triangle, then angle B=angle C =66⁰.
m∠BAD = m∠CAD, so AD is a bisector. 
In an isosceles triangle, bisector is also median and height.
So AD is perpendicular bisector.
So angle x = 90⁰. 

In triangle ABC
m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180⁰
m∠A+66+66=180
m∠A=180-66-66=48⁰

m∠A=48⁰
AD is a bisector of A, so y=m∠A/2=48⁰/2=24⁰


x=90⁰, y=24⁰
Answer is A

Susan and Toby created a list of their monthly household expenses, as shown below.
PSYCHO15rus [73]
One person will need to make $32 per hour or they could both earn $16 per hour each.

If you add up all the expenses, you have $5120. Working 40 hours per week for 4 weeks gives a total of 160 hours.

5120 / 160 = 32
