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.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Red = 6

Blue = 3

Green = 5

Total = 14

First marble = 6/14  = 3/7  You now have 5 reds and 13 total

Second Marble = 5 * 13  which brings you down to 4 red and 12 total.

Third Marble = 4/12 = 1/3

Result

P(3 Red) = 3/7 * 5/13 * 1/3     cancel the 3s

P(3 Red) = 1/7 * 5/13

P(3 Red) = 5/91

P(3 Red) = 0.0549 . Rounding to the nearest 1/100 depends on what you have been told about rounding. I would say the answer is 0.05 but your teacher may say something different.
