Answer:

2630 g

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Given that:

mean (μ) = 3750 g

Standard deviation (σ) = 500

Suppose the hospital officials demand special treatment with a percentage of  lightest 3% (0.03) for newborn babies;

Then, the weight of birth that differentiates the babies that needed special treatment from those that do not can be computed as follows;

P(Z < z₁) = 0.03

Using the Excel Formula; =NORMSINV(0.03) = -1.88

z₁ = - 1.88

Using the test statistics z₁ formula:

z_1 = \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

-1.88 = \dfrac{X-3570}{500}

By cross multiply, we have:

-1.88 × 500 = X - 3570

-940 = X - 3570

-X = -3570 + 940

-X = -2630

X = 2630 g

Hence, 2630 g is the required weight of birth   that differentiates the babies that needed special treatment from those that do not

84&gt; -4(6x-3) I don't know what the answer is. Can someone please help me?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

x>−3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

84>−24x+12

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−24x+12<84

Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.

−24x+12−12<84−12

−24x<72

Step 4: Divide both sides by -24.

−24x /−24 < 72 /−24

-5⁄2 a + 5 = 25 What Does A =
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5⁄2 a + 5 = 25

Subtract 5 from each side

-5⁄2 a + 5-5 = 25-5

-5/2 a = 20

Multiply each side by -2/5 to isolate a

-2/5 * -5/2 a = -2/5 *20

a = -8
