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.

A spinner and 4 cards are shown below:
yan [13]

Answer: 1 over 20

Step-by-step explanation: If the spinner has 5 parts to it at purple is one of those parts then the spinner has a 1/5 chance of it landing there.

If there are 4 cards and 1 of them are pink then there is a 1/4 chance of picking pink(if done randomly)

So if we mutiply 1/4 and 1/5, we get 1/20

That is how I arrived at my answer of 1 over 20

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

5mls

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the doctors recommend the woman to give her 12 pound mixed breed dog Benadryl 12.5 mg orally, and she has Benadryl liquid that is exactly 12.5 mg per teaspoon, all she has to do is to give her dog one teaspoon only.

Since one US teaspoon equals to 5 metric millimeters.

The woman would need to give her pet 5mls then.

 (Do it if you want BRAINLY) The original height of Khafre's pyramid, next to the Great Pyramid, was about 471 ft. Each side of
Lesechka [4]

We have the base measurement for the triangles composing the sides. We need their altitude.  

Imagine a right triangle with these sides:  

(1) from the apex of the pyramid to the point on the base directly underneath it (471 ft);  

(2) from the middle of base edge to the point underneath the apex (half of 708 ft = 354 ft);  

(3) the hypotenuse, the altitude of a triangular side.  

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find the hypotenuse to be  

√(471^2 + 354^2) = about 589.2 feet  

Now we add up the four triangles' areas. Each is base * altitude / 2, so:  

4 x 708 x 589.2 / 2  

= 2 x 708 x 589.2  

= 834,307.2 square feet, the lateral area.
