Answer:
B. 1.2 x
Step-by-step explanation:
Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 650,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 ✕ 10^8. Or, in this case it's the opposite since we have a negative number. Since it's a decimal it's multiplied by 10 still but the exponent is negative. All we need to do to find what the exponent would be in this case is to count the number of zeros before the "12." There are 4 zeros before the 12. So your exponent would be -4. Now all we need to do is write out "equation" per say.

Answer:
2.28% of babies born in the United States having a low birth weight.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The complete question is</u>: In the United States, birth weights of newborn babies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of μ = 3,500 g and a standard deviation of σ = 500 g. What percent of babies born in the United States are classified as having a low birth weight (< 2,500 g)? Explain how you got your answer.
We are given that in the United States, birth weights of newborn babies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of μ = 3,500 g and a standard deviation of σ = 500 g.
Let X = <u><em>birth weights of newborn babies</em></u>
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = population mean = 3,500 g
= standard deviation = 500 g
So, X ~ N()
Now, the percent of babies born in the United States having a low birth weight is given by = P(X < 2500 mg)
P(X < 2500 mg) = P( <
) = P(Z < -2) = 1 - P(Z
2)
= 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275 or 2.28%
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2 in the z table which has an area of 0.97725.
