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:

The research has been conducted to identify the weight of new born babies in comparison to the weight of their mother. The samples are collected from young mothers who are at age of 16 to 18. The babies average weight turned out to be 7.3 pounds. It is assumed that the weight of babies is normally distributed.

Find the measures of the interior
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Angle 1 =  108°

Angle 2 =  72°

Angle 3 =  120°

Angle 4 =  96°

Angle 5 =  144°

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the measures of the interior  angles in a pentagon if the measure  of each consecutive angle is in the  ratio 9:6:10:8:12.

Let x be the common ratio

So, we can write:

Angle 1 = 9x

Angle 2 = 6x

Angle 3 = 10x

Angle 4 = 8x

Angle 5 = 12x

We know that the <em>sum of all angles of pentagon = 540</em>

So, adding all angles and equal them to 540, we can find value of x

9x+6x+10x+8x+12x=540\\45x=540\\x=\frac{540}{45}\\x=12

So, we get the value of x: x=12

Now, calculating the angles by putting x=12:

Angle 1 = 9x = 9(12) = 108°

Angle 2 = 6x = 6(12) = 72°

Angle 3 = 10x = 10(12) = 120°

Angle 4 = 8x = 8(12) = 96°

Angle 5 = 12x= 12(12) = 144°

The average number of employees that call in sick for the day over the course of a year is 25.
sveta [45]

Answer:

<h3>x¯= 23.8 </h3><h3>μ= 8.2 </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Find the mean. </h3>

 

The mean of a set of numbers is the sum divided by the number of terms.

x¯= <u>25+10+16+39+27+25+32+25+25+22+28+14</u>

                                   11

<h3>Simplify the numerator. </h3>

x¯ = <u>261.27</u>

            11

<h3>Divide  261.27 by 11 </h3>

x¯= 23.75 18

<h3>Divide. </h3>

x¯= 23.75 18

The mean should be rounded to one more decimal place than the original data. If the original data were mixed, round to one decimal place more than the least precise.

x¯=23.8

<h3>Simplify each value in the list. </h3>

25,10,16,39.27,25,32,25,25,22,28,14

Set up the formula for sample standard deviation. The standard deviation of a set of values is a measure of the spread of its values.

s=  n^∑  i=1    √(<u>xi−xavg</u>)²

                            N-1

             

Set up the formula for standard deviation for this set of numbers.

s= ⎷(25−23.8)²+(10−23.8)²+(16−23.8)²+(39.27−23.8)²+(25−23.8)²+<u>(32−23.8)²+(25−23.8)²+(25−23.8)²+(22−23.8)²+(28−23.8)²+(14−23.8)</u>²

                                       11−1

<h3>Simplify the result. </h3>

 

s= √68.05209

The standard deviation should be rounded to one more decimal place than the original data. If the original data were mixed, round to one decimal place more than the least precise.
