Can someone please answer this

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of days and a standard deviation of days. a. Find the probabilit

Alik [6]

Answer:

a) The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

b) We have to find X when Z has a p-value of $\frac{a}{100}$ , and X is given by: $X = \mu - Z\sigma$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

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.

In this question:

Mean $\mu$ , standard deviation $\sigma$

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer.

The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest a%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

We have to find X when Z has a p-value of $\frac{a}{100}$ , and X is given by: $X = \mu - Z\sigma$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/3 and passes through point (-3, -1)? y=-2/3x+1.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

y = -2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the equation using the slope. It should look like this: y = -2/3x + b. Next, find the y intercept by plugging in the point. This is what it looks like: -1 = -2/3(-3) + b. Multiply -2/3 by -3 to get 2. This is what it should look like now: -1 = 2 + b. Subtract 3 from both sides to get -3 = b. Go back to your original equation and plug in -3 for b. This is your final equation:

y = -2/3x - 3

Hope this helped! :)

a) A battalion of soldiers wanted to have a parade forming a square design with 1,536 soldiers. Is it possible ? If not how many

Dmitrij [34]

A square with 1,536 soldiers are not possible, i.e. the square root of 1,536 is about 39.191, which means that 1,536 is not a square a number. In order for it to be a square number, we have to round up 39.191 (because it says "how many more soldiers") to 40 and 40×40=1,600 and 1,600-1,536, so we need 64 more soldiers.

The greatest 4 digit number is simple. If the square root of 10,000 is 100, than, one can assume that because 100-1=99, the resulting answer of 99×99 is less than 10,000, meaning that is is 4 digits. 99×99=9,801.

Epic math question that i cant solve

zvonat [6]

The area of the shaded region can be found by subtracting the area of the inside rectangle from the outside rectangle

area of outside: 6 X 10y —> 60y
area of inside: 3 X 5x —> 15x

so the area of the shaded region is 60y-15x

the GCF is 15, so the factored form is: 15(4y-x)
