Answer:
0.0228 = 2.28% probability that a one-month old girl will be categorized as having microcephaly
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean 
and standard deviation 
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Medscape defines microcephaly (small head syndrome) as a head circumference that is more than two standard deviations below the mean. What is the probability that a one-month old girl will be categorized as having microcephaly?
Probability of a z-score of -2 or less, which is the p-value of Z = -2.
Looking at the z-table, Z = -2 has a p-value of 0.0228.
0.0228 = 2.28% probability that a one-month old girl will be categorized as having microcephaly

Answer:
The overall probability of type II diabetes among 40- to 59-year-olds in Houston is 9.3%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have these following rates of type II diabetes:
7% among Caucasians
10% among African-Americans
12% among Hispanics
5% among Asian-Americans.
The ethnic distribution of Houston is:
30% Caucasian
25% African-American
40% Hispanic
5% Asian-American
What is the overall probability of type II diabetes among 40- to 59-year-olds in Houston?
is the probability of finding a Caucasian with type II diabetes in Houston. So it is 7% of 30%.
is the probability of finding an African-American with type II diabetes in Houston. So it is 10% of 25%.
is the probability of finding a Hispanic with type II diabetes in Houston. So it is 12% of 40%.
is the probability of finding an Asian-American with type II diabetes in Houston. So it is 5% of 5%.
The overall probability of type II diabetes among 40- to 59-year-olds in Houston is 9.3%.
The answer is B. Because when you add any two sides they are greater than the side that was not added.
