The length of human pregnancy is known to have a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 16 days. Based on records from a l

arge women's hospital, a random sample of 25 women who were smoking and/or drinking alcohol during their pregnancy and their pregnancy lengths are recorded in the datafile linked below. Do the data provide enough evidence to support the (well-known) fact that women who smoke and/or drink alcohol during their pregnancy have shorter pregnancies than women in general (in other words, are more likely to have premature labor)?

Answer:

H0: μ ≥ 266

H1 : μ < 266

Yes, condition for Ztest have been met.

-1.975

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

μ = 266

Sample size, n = 25

Sample mean, x = 259.68

The Null hypothesis, H0: μ ≥ 266

The Alternative hypothesis, H1 : μ < 266

The test statistic, :

(x - μ) ÷ (s/sqrt(n)

(259.68 - 266) ÷ (16/sqrt(25))

−6.32 / 3.2

= - 1.975

Using the Pvalue from Zstatistic calculator :

Pvalue, one tail test at 0.05, Zscore = - 1.975

Pvalue = 0.024134

Since ;

Pvalue < α ; reject Null

0.024 < 0.05 ;

The is significant evidence to support the claim that women who smoke during their pregnancy have shorter pregnancy than general women.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Current position (3,2)

Moving left of the x axis results in a decrease, so: 3 - 2 (As she is moving 2 units to the left)

Moving up results in a positive increase on the y axis, so: 2 + 1 (As she is moving one unit up)

The axis of the sphere below is 16 units in length. What is the surface area of the sphere?.
Nataly_w [17]
There are enough information's already given in the question. Based on those information's that answer can be easily deduced.
Radius of the sphere = 8 units
Then
Surface area of the sphere = 4 *pi * r^2
                                            = 4 * pi * (8)^2
                                            = 4 * pi * 64
                                            = 256pi
I hope that this answer has come to your help.

6. Calculate the value of tan (48°19'23").
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

C. 1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60' (minutes) in a degree and 60" in a minute meaning that we have (60×60) seconds in a degree.

Therefore to convert seconds to degrees we divide by 3600. and minutes to degrees we divide by 60.

The angle 48°19'23'' can be converted into a decimal as follows

48°+(19/60+23/3600)°

=48.323°

Tan 48.323= 1.12

One number is 1 more than 2 times another. Their product is 10. Find the numbers.
Taya2010 [7]
Whenever a problem says "one number" and "another number" we can substitute x and y. for this we have x=2y+1 and xy=1. since we know the value of x (2y+1) we can substitute it for the other equation to get (2y+1)y=10. simplify to get 2y^2+y=10. from here you can do a few methods to solve this, but the simplest in my opinion is by factoring. 

In order to factor it must be equal to 0, so we have 2y^2+y-10=0. We factor this and get y=5 (we also get y=-4 but it is an extraneous root). now we can plug that into either equation and find that x=2.

this means our two numbers are 5 and 2
