Answer:
- Mean = 16.9
- Mode = 18
- Median = 17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given data:</u>
- 18, 19, 16, 18, 14, 17, 18, 15
<u>The data in the ascending order:</u>
- 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18, 18, 19
<u>The mean:</u>
- (14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18*3 + 19)/8 = 16.9 (rounded)
<u>The median:</u>
- (17 + 18)/2 = 17.5 (the average of middle terms)
<u>The mode:</u>
- 18 (the most repeated number)
Answer: an "addition equation" .
__________________________________________
The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.
That is,
Consider X be the length of the pregnancy
Mean and standard deviation of the length of the pregnancy.
Mean 
Standard deviation \sigma =15
For part (a) , to find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer:
That is, to find 
Using normal distribution,



Thus 
So 




Thus the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer is given by 0.00256.
This the answer for part(a): 0.00256
For part(b), to find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.
Given that the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 3%.
The z-value for the lowest of 3% is -1.8808
Then 
This implies 
Thus the babies who are born on or before 238 days are considered to be premature.
Answer: 6 on the extreme left has the place value 6000; the next 6 has the value 600; the next, 60; and the last, 6. The numeral for every whole number stands for a sum. 364 = 3 Hundreds + 6 Tens + 4 Ones. Hope this helps!
