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.

The tank at a gas station contained 400 gallons of gas. A tanker truck that contained 8,100 gallons of gas filled the station's
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount put in the station's tank = x

4(400 + x) = 8100 - x                           Remove the brackets

1600 + 4x = 8100 - x                            Subtract 1600 from both sides

1600 - 1600 + 4x = 8100 - 1600 - x     Do the subtraction

4x = 6500 - x                                        Add x to both sides

4x + x = 6500 - x + x        

5x = 6500                                            Divide by 5

5x/5 = 6500/5                                      

x = 1300

1300 gallons were added to the station's tank.

A circle with radius 3 has a sector with a central angle of 60.<br> What is the area of the sector?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Sector area = (central angle / 360) * PI * radius^2

Sector area = (1/6) * PI * 3^2

Sector area = 9/6 * PI

Sector area = 4.7123889804

Art [367]

Answer:

Peter's number is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtratct 13 from 36, you get 23.

If you multiply that times -3, you get -69.

(The way I got 23 was by dividing -69 and -3)

I hope this helped you even though it's late.
