The weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 3327

grams and a standard deviation of 380 grams. If a newborn baby boy born at the local hospital is randomly selected, find the probability that the weight will be less than 3551 grams. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.7224 = 72.24% probability that the weight will be less than 3551 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 3327 grams and a standard deviation of 380 grams.

This means that \mu = 3327, \sigma = 380

Find the probability that the weight will be less than 3551 grams.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3551. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{3551 - 3327}{380}

Z = 0.59

Z = 0.59 has a pvalue of 0.7224

0.7224 = 72.24% probability that the weight will be less than 3551 grams.

Which equation best describes the pattern in the table below?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The pattern in the table adds 1.50 for ever 15 minutes. That means per minute it adds \frac{1.5}{15} =0.10 or 10 cents. This means you multiply each minute by 0.10 to find the cost. This is the equation c = 0.10m.
