Babies born after 40 weeks gestation have a mean length of 52.2 centimeters (about 20.6 inches). Babies born one month early hav

e a mean length of 47.4 cm. Assume both standard deviations are 2.5 cm. and the distributions are unimodal and symmetric. a. Find the standardized score (z-score), relative to all U.S. births, for a baby with a birth length of 45 cm. b. Find the standardized score of a birth length of 45 cm. for babies born one month early, using 47.4 as the mean. c. For which group is a birth length of 45 cm more common

Answer:

a) Z = -2.88

b) Z = -0.96

c) 40 weeks gestation babies

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.

a. Find the standardized score (z-score), relative to all U.S. births, for a baby with a birth length of 45 cm.

Here, we use \mu = 52.2, \sigma = 2.5. So

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

Z = \frac{45 - 52.2}{2.5}

Z = -2.88

b. Find the standardized score of a birth length of 45 cm. for babies born one month early, using 47.4 as the mean.

Here, we use \mu = 47.4, \sigma = 2.5. So

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

Z = \frac{45 - 47.4}{2.5}

Z = -0.96

c. For which group is a birth length of 45 cm more common?

For each group, the probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z.

Z = -2.88 has a lower pvalue than Z = -0.96, so for Z = -2.88 the probability 1 - pvalue of Z will be greater. This means that for 40 weeks gestation babies a birth length of 45 cm is more common.

F(x+h) = (x+h)² + 3(x+h)^3<br><br> How would I distribute this?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

f(x + h) = 3x³ + x² + 9h²x + 3h³ + h² + 9hx² + 2hx

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Distributive Property
  • Expand by FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)
  • Combining like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define function</u>

f(x) = x² + 3x³

f(x + h) is x = x + h

<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>

  1. Substitute:                              f(x + h) = (x + h)² + 3(x + h)³
  2. Expand by FOILing:               f(x + h) = (x² + 2hx + h²) + 3(x + h)³
  3. Rewrite:                                  f(x + h) = (x² + 2hx + h²) + 3(x + h)²(x + h)
  4. Expand by FOILing:               f(x + h) = (x²+2hx+h²) + 3(x² + 2hx + h²)(x+h)
  5. Distribute/Expand:                 f(x + h) = (x²+2hx+h²) + 3(x³+3hx²+3h²x+h³)
  6. Distribute 3:                            f(x + h) = (x²+2hx+h²)+(3x³+9hx²+9h²x+3h³)
  7. Combine like terms:               f(x + h) = 3x³+x²+9h²x+3h³+h²+9hx²+2hx
