Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2500 grams and a standard deviation of 700

grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3100 grams and a standard deviation of 390 grams. If a 34-week gestation period baby weighs 2950 grams and a 41-week gestation period baby weighs 3550 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation period

Answer:

Z-score for 34-week baby = 0.643

Z-score for 41-week baby = 1.154

Baby weight of 41-week is more than the baby weight of 34-week in the gestation period.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2500 grams and a standard deviation of 700 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3100 grams and a standard deviation of 390 grams. If a 34-week gestation period baby weighs 2950 grams and a 41-week gestation period baby weighs 3550 grams

To find - Find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation period.

Proof -

Given that,

In between period of 32 to 35 weeks

Mean = 2500

Standard deviation = 700

In between after a period of 40 weeks

Mean = 3100

Standard deviation = 390

Now,

For a 34-week baby,

X = 2950

For a 41-week baby,

X = 3550

Now,

Z-score = (X - mean) / Standard deviation

Now,

For a 34-week baby,

Z - score = (2950 - 2500) / 700 = 0.643

For a 41-week baby,

Z-score = (3550 - 3100) / 390 = 1.154

∴ we get

Z-score for 34-week baby = 0.643

Z-score for 41-week baby = 1.154

As 1.154 > 0.643

So,

Baby weight of 41-week is more than baby weight of 34-week in the gestation period.

Use the information to answer the question. Sabrina walked from her home to the library she stopped to pick up a book, and then
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

30 minutes to 40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

Distance of Sabrina from her home has been given on y-axis and time taken is on x-axis.

Sabrina's walked 2 miles to reach the library in the duration = 30 - 0

= 30 minutes

She stayed at the library from 30 minutes to 40 minutes (Represented by the straight horizontal line).

Then the third segment represents the journey of Sabrina from library to home.

Therefore, Sabrina was at the library between 30 minutes to 40 minutes.

What is the quotient of 4 2/3 divided by 4 1/5 :fraction
Ostrovityanka [42]
Write the two fractions as improper fractions 
4  2/3 is 14/3
<span>4  1/5</span> is 21/5
rewrite
14/3 <span>÷ 21/5
since it is pretty complicated to divide two fractions, 
you change it to multiplication
keep the first fraction, change the division sign to multiplication, then flip the second fraction
(you can remember KEEP, CHANGE, FLIP whenever dealing with division of fractions :) )
14/3 * 5/21
multiply across
(14 * 5) / ( 3 * 21)
</span>70/ 63
simplify to 10/9
this can be written as 1  1/9

Hope this helps
