The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth follows a distribution with mean 266 days and standard deviation 15 day
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

a) 81.5%

b) 95%

c) 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 266 days

Standard Deviation, σ = 15 days

We are given that the distribution of  length of human pregnancies is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(between 236 and 281 days)

P(236 \leq x \leq 281)\\\\= P(\displaystyle\frac{236 - 266}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{281-266}{15})\\\\= P(-2 \leq z \leq 1)\\\\= P(z \leq 1) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.838 - 0.023 = 0.815 = 81.5\%

b) a) P(last between 236 and 296)

P(236 \leq x \leq 281)\\\\= P(\displaystyle\frac{236 - 266}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{296-266}{15})\\\\= P(-2 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.973 - 0.023 = 0.95 = 95\%

c) If the data is not normally distributed.

Then, according to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 1-\dfrac{1}{k^2}  data lies within k standard deviation of mean.

For k = 2

1-\dfrac{1}{(2)^2} = 75\%

Atleast 75% of data lies within two standard deviation for a non normal data.

Thus, atleast 75% of pregnancies last between 236 and 296 days approximately.

3. How many gallons of ice-cream are produced each<br>week?​
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Each week 26,849,315 Gallons of ice cream is produced each week

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this we see how much is made in a year which is 1.4 billion gallons in the U.S.

To see how much is in a day we divide 1.4 billion by 365. Which is 3835616 Then we multiply it by 7 because there is 7 days in a week and the answer is 26849315

An acute triangle has sides measuring 10 cm and 16 cm. The length of the third side is unknown.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Choice B

12.5 < x < 18.9

================================================

Explanation:

We have a triangle with these side lengths:

  • a = 10
  • b = 16
  • c = x = unknown

Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.

By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need b^2 < a^2+c^2 to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.

So,

b^2 < a^2 + c^2\\\\c^2 > b^2 - a^2\\\\c > \sqrt{b^2-a^2}\\\\x > \sqrt{16^2-10^2}\\\\x > \sqrt{156}\\\\x > 12.4899959967968 \ \text{(approximate)}\\\\x > 12.5

Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.

Using the same theorem as before, we would say,

c^2 < a^2 + b^2\\\\c < \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\\\x < \sqrt{10^2 + 16^2}\\\\x < \sqrt{356}\\\\x < 18.8679622641132 \ \text{(approximate)}\\\\x < 18.9\\\\

We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9

This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9

Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9
