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

<1 and <2 are supplementary. m<1=4x and m<2 =92 what is the value of x
monitta

Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary means that the two angles that are supplementary equal 180 degrees. 180-m<2=m<1

180-92=88 (m<2=92)

m<1=88

m<1=4x

4x=88

x=22

choli [55]

Answer:

0.3667

0.2727

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

P (Blue) = P (large and Blue) + P (mid and Blue) + P (small and Blue)

P (Blue) = (0.5 * 0.2) + (0.4*7 / 12) + (0.1* 1 / 3)

P (Blue) = 0.3667

b)

Conditional Probability:

P (Large / Blue ) = P (large and Blue) / P ( Blue)

P (Large / Blue ) = 0.5*0.2 / 0.36667

P (Large / Blue ) = 0.2727
