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)?

1) State the null and alternative hypotheses, and define clearly what the parameter μ represents.
2) Have the conditions that allow us to safely use the z-test been met? support your answer
3) Compute the test statistic and interpret its value
4) State the p-value, and draw your conclusions in context.

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.

Find the distance between two points -9,-5 and 0,7
Arada [10]
To find the distance, you need to subtract the second point from the first one. So:

0 - (-9) = 9 ( two minuses turn into a positive)

And

7 - (-5) = 12

So the difference between the points is 9 units on the x- axis and 12 on the y-axis.

Hope this helped and pls mark as brainliest!

100 POINTS ANSWER HURRY
choli [55]
X-3y=18
X always has a 1 in front of it so
1x-3y=18
-1x      -1x         You will have to get -3y by its self.
-3y=-1x + 18      when you move 1x over the = it turns into a -1x
/-3    /-3      /-3      divided everything by -3 to get y by its self
Y= 1/3 - 6            and that is you answer
