A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 614 babies bo

rn in New York. The mean weight was 3398 grams with a standard deviation of 892 grams. Assume that birth weight data are approximately bell-shaped. Estimate the number of newborns who weighed between 1614 grams and 5182 grams. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The number of newborns who weighed between 1614 grams and 5182 grams was of 586.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

The mean weight was 3398 grams with a standard deviation of 892 grams.

This means that \mu = 3398, \sigma = 892

Proportion that weighed between 1614 and 5182 grams:

p-value of Z when X = 5182 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 1614.

X = 5182

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5182 - 3398}{892}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772

X = 1614

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1614 - 3398}{892}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a p-value of 0.0228

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544.

Out of 614 babies:

0.9544*614 = 586

The number of newborns who weighed between 1614 grams and 5182 grams was of 586.

Answer:

The number of students who took English and History, but not Math is 143.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the subject choices as follows:

<em>M</em> = a students was taking Math

<em>E</em> = a students was taking English

<em>H</em> = a students was taking History

The data provided is as follows:

N (M) = 257

N (E) = 282

N (H) = 323

n (M ∩ E) = 154

n (M ∩ H) = 171

n (E ∩ H) = 143

n (M ∩ E ∩ H) = 80

Consider the Venn diagram below.

From the provided data and the Venn diagram the value of the set E and H minus M is 143.

Thus, the number of students who took English and History, but not Math is 143.
