Newborn babies: A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights
Fed [463]

Answer:

a) 615

b) 715

c) 344

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given that,  A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 732 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3311 grams with a standard deviation of 860 grams

  • Since the distribution is approximately bell-shaped, we can use the normal distribution and calculate the Z scores for each scenario.

Z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

Now,

For x = 4171,  Z = (4171 - 3311)/860 = 1  

  • P(Z < 1) using Z table for areas for the standard normal distribution, you will get 0.8413.

Next, multiply that by the sample size of 732.

  • Therefore 732(0.8413) = 615.8316, so approximately 615 will weigh less than 4171  

 

  • For part b, use the same method except x is now 1591.    

Z = (1581 - 3311)/860 = -2    

  • P(Z > -2) , using the Z table is 1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772 . Now 732(0.9772) = 715.3104, so approximately 715 will weigh more than 1591.

 

  • For part c, we now need to get two Z scores, one for 3311 and another for 5031.

Z1 = (3311 - 3311)/860 = 0

Z2 = (5031 - 3311)/860= 2  

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 2) = 0.9772 - 0.5000 = 0.4772

  approximately 47% fall between 0 and 1 standard deviation, so take 0.47 times 732 ⇒ 732×0.47 = 344.

Sara buys soil from a gardener to fill a planter.The gardener has 1.5 cubic feet of soil to sell for $6. Sara buys just enough s
Travka [436]
The first thing you should do is calculate the volume of the prism.
 We have then:
 V = h * L ^ 2
 Where,
 L: side of the square base.
 h: height.
 Substituting we have:
 V = (0.5) * (1) ^ 2 = 0.5 feet ^ 3.
 Then, we can make the following rule of three:
 1.5 feet ^ 3 ---> 6
 0.5 feet ^ 3 ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (0.5 / 1.5) * (6) = 2 $
 Answer:
 it will cost Sara 2 $ to completely fill her planter with soil

Cole wants to buy carpet to cover his whole living room, except for the tiled floor. The tiled floor is 4 5 6 ft by 2 1 3 ft. Fi
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Area = 49\frac{25}{36}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tile

Length = 4\frac{5}{6}

Width = 2\frac{1}{3}

See attachment for dimension of the floor

Required

Determine the area covered by the carpet

From the attachment, the dimension of the floor is:

Length = 12\frac{1}{4}

Width = 5

Calculate Area

Area = Length * Width

Area = 12\frac{1}{4} * 5

Area = 61\frac{1}{4}

The area of the tiles is:

Area = 4\frac{5}{6} * 2\frac{1}{3}

Area = \frac{29}{6} * \frac{7}{3}

Area = \frac{203}{18}

Area = 11\frac{5}{18}

So, the carpet area is:

Area = Floor\ Area - Tile\ Area

Area = 61\frac{1}{4} - 11\frac{5}{18}

To improper number

Area = \frac{245}{4} - \frac{208}{18}

Take LCM

Area = \frac{2205 - 416}{36}

Area = \frac{1789}{36}

Area = 49\frac{25}{36}

wlad13 [49]

Answer: The quantity of the water received by each student = 3.75 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total water = 18.75 liters

Total students =5

If each student in the group used the same amount of water for their experiment, then the quantity of the water received by each student = \dfrac{\text{Total quantity}}{\text{Total students}}

=\dfrac{18.75}{5}\\\\=3.75\ liters

The quantity of the water received by each student = 3.75 liters.
