A recent study revealed that the average weight of babies born in the US is normally distributed with a mean of 7.5 pounds. One

researcher decides to look at the age of the mother to determine if younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or lighter than average. The researcher collects data from 87 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. The average weight for these babies was 7.3 pounds with a standard deviation of .6 pounds. Which of the following statements is relevant to the assumption of Appropriate Measurement of the Variables?
a. the standard deviation for young mothers is not expected to be different than the standard deviation in the population
b. only one baby was measured per mother
c. weights of babies are normally distributed in the population
d. the study used a sample that is different than the comparison population and measured weight on a ratio scale

Answer:

c. Weights of babies are normally distributed

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (-8, -1) and a directrix at y = − 4.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

y = 1/6 x^2 + 8/3 x + 49/6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabola which opens upwards.

The distance of a point (x, y)  from the focus is

√[(x -  -8)^2  + (y - -1)^2] and

the distance of the point from the line y = -4

= y - -4

These distances are equal for a parabola so:

√[(x -  -8)^2  + (y - -1)^2] = y + 4

Squaring both sides:

(x + 8)^2 + (y + 1)^2  = (y + 4)^2

x^2 + 16x + 64 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = y^2 + 8y + 16

x^2 + 16x + 64 + 1 - 16 = 8y - 2y

6y = x^2 + 16x + 49

y = 1/6 x^2 + 8/3 x + 49/6 is the equation of the parabola.
