The length of the human pregnancy is not fixed. It is known that it varies according to a distribution which is roughly normal,
fgiga [73]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) P(234

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(234

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 95%

c) P(250

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 34+34+13.5+2.35%=83.85%

d) P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

And that correspond to approximately 0.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we can see the figure attached.

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part b

Let X the random variable that represent the length of human pregnancy of a population, and for this case we know that:

Where \mu=266 and \sigma=16

We are interested on this probability

P(234

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(234

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 95%

Part c

P(250

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 34+34+13.5+2.35%=83.85%

Part d

We want this probability:

P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

And that correspond to approximately 0.15%

The useful life of a radial tire is normally distributed with a mean of 30,000 miles and a standard deviation of 5000 miles. The
otez555 [7]

Answer:

  empirical rule: 81.5%

  table or calculator: 81.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower limit of the life range of interest has a z-score of ...

  z = (x -μ)/σ = (20,000 -30,000)/5,000 = -2

The upper limit has a z-score of ...

  z = (35,000 -30,000)/5,000 = 1

<u>Empirical rule solution</u>

The empirical rule tells you that 95% of the distribution lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so (100% -95%)/2 = 2.5% lie below z = -2. It also tells you 68% lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so (100% -68%)/2 = 16% lie above z = 1.

The fraction that lies within -2 to 1 standard deviations of the means is thus ...

  (100% -2.5% -16%) = 81.5%

The probability the tire has a life in the desired range is about 81.5%.

__

<u>Calculator solution</u>

A probability calculator for the Normal distribution tells you that ...

  P(-2 < z < 1) ≈ 0.8185946

The probability the tire has a life in the desired range is about 81.9%.

Scientists are studying hurricanes to determine the number of hurricanes in the past 50 years that have caused greater than $1 m
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is 1. Hurricanes</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To successfully perform this study, the population to be analyzed must be the total hurricanes that have happened in the last 50 years. If the population is reduced to only hurricanes that have caused damages of more than US $ 1 Million, we would be skewing the research, leaving many of the dispersion and central tendency analysis invalid. The objective is to obtain conclusions from all hurricanes and not only from a subset of them.
