The distribution of head circumference for full term newborn female infants is approximately normal with a mean of 33.8 cm and a

enyata [817]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 95.65% of full term newborn female infants with a head circumference between 31 cm and 36 cm.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

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

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

$\mu = 33.8, \sigma = 1.2$

The proportion of full term newborn female infants with a head circumference between 31 cm and 36 cm is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 36 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 31</u>, hence:

X = 36:

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

$Z = \frac{36 - 33.8}{1.2}$

Z = 1.83

Z = 1.83 has a p-value of 0.9664.

X = 31:

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

$Z = \frac{31 - 33.8}{1.2}$

Z = -2.33

Z = -2.33 has a p-value of 0.0099.

0.9664 - 0.0099 = 0.9565.

0.9565 = 95.65% of full term newborn female infants with a head circumference between 31 cm and 36 cm.

15% of 72 is ______

BigorU [14]

Answer: convert 15% to a decimal. 0.15 times 75 is 11.25

Converting Percentages to Decimals

Easiest—divide by 100: The simplest way to convert a percentage to a decimal is to divide the number (in percentage format) by 100.

Move the decimal: Another way to convert a quoted percentage to decimal format is to move the decimal two places to the left

Jason plans to pay the water bill with two equal payments

djyliett [7]

Since the water bill costs $35, to split it into 2 equal payments, you would simply just half $35 which is $17.50.

Certain circle can be represented by the following equation.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Center of the circle is (-9, -7)

Radius of the circle = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete: here is the complete question.

Certain circle can be represented by the following equation. x^2+y^2+18x+14y+105=0.

What is the center of this circle ?

What is the radius of this circle ?

Since equation of the circle has been given by the equation,

x² + y² + 18x + 14y + 105 = 0

Now we will convert this equation to the standard form of the circle.

x² + 18x + y² + 14y = -105

[x² + 2(9)x] + [y² + 2(7)x] = -105

[x² + 2(9)x + 9²] + [y² + 2(7)y + 7²] = 9² + 7² - 105

(x + 9)² + (y + 7)² = 81 + 49 - 105

(x + 9)² + (y + 7)² = 25

(x + 9)² + (y + 7)² = 5²

By comparing this equation with the standard equation of the circle → (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Center of the circle is (-9, -7) and radius of the circle is 5 units.
