A study was being conducted about birth weights of babies at a local hospital and found the average to be 7.6 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.3 pounds (the distribution was approximately normal). Many pre-mature births weights are in the lowest 1% of births. What would be the birth weight associated with the lowest 1%?
Answers
Answer:
The birth weight associated with the lowest 1% is 4.6 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X represent the birth weights of babies.
It is provided that [tex]X\sim N(7.6,1.3^{2})[/tex]
It is also provided that many pre-mature births weights are in the lowest 1% of births.
Let x represent the births weights that are in the lowest 1% of births.
That is, P (X < x) = 0.01.
⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.01
The corresponding z-score is, z = -2.33.
Compute the value of x as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{s-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-2.33=\frac{x-7.6}{1.3}\\\\x=7.6-(1.3\times 2.33)\\\\x=4.571\\\\x\approx 4.6[/tex]
Thus, the birth weight associated with the lowest 1% is 4.6 pounds.

Answers
Answer:
96Step-by-step explanation:
Put x = 5 to the expression 4(x - 2)(x + 3) + 7(x - 2)(x - 5) - 6(x - 3)(x - 5)
4(5 - 2)(5 + 3) + 7(5 - 2)(5 - 5) - 6(5 - 3)(5 - 5)
= 4(3)(8) + 7(3)(0) - 6(2)(0) = 96 + 0 - 0 = 96

Before the 1936 US presidential election, a popular poll predicted that Alfred Landon would comfortably win against Franklin D. Roosevelt. The poll randomly sampled people from sources like telephone and car registration records, but the country was in an economic crisis, so many voters without those luxuries were not included in the poll. Voters with lower incomes favored Roosevelt, who ultimately won with 62%, percent of the vote—one of the largest margins of victory ever in a US presidential election.

An isosceles triangle is shown. Which two angles must be congruent?
Answers
Answer:
C. Angle I and Angle H
Step-by-step explanation:
The congruncy lines on either side of the triangle show that.
An isosceles triangle has two congruent angles.
The two angles that must be congruent are: [tex]\mathbf{\angle I \cong \angle H}[/tex]
From the figure, we observe that side lengths HJ and HI are congruent.
The above highlight means that: the angles at the other points of HJ and HI.
The common point of HJ and HI is H, while the other points are J and I
So, the angles at J and I are congruent.
Hence, the correct option is (c)

Two boxes of chocolates cost Php180. How much do 7 boxes of chocolates cost? *what proportion is that?
Answers
Answer:
Php630
Step-by-step explanation:
2 boxes of chocolates cost Php180.
Number of boxes : price
2 : 180
How much do 7 boxes of chocolates cost?
Let x = price of 7 boxes
Number of boxes : price
7 : x
Number of boxes : price
2 : 180 = 7 : x
2/180 = 7/x
cross product
2*x = 180*7
2x = 1,260
Divide both sides by 2
x = Php630

Define cross-multiplication property
Answers
Answer: Not to be confused with Cross product.
In mathematics, specifically in elementary arithmetic and elementary algebra, given an equation between two fractions or rational expressions, one can cross-multiply to simplify the equation or determine the value of a variable.
The method is also occasionally known as the "cross your heart" method because a heart can be drawn to remember which things to multiply together and the lines resemble a heart outline.

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (8,-5) that is parallel to the line 2x – 6y=-3.
y = mx + b
Answers
Answer:
y=[tex]\frac{1}{3}\\[/tex]x - [tex]\frac{23}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Ist put the first equation in y=mx+b form
2x-6y=-3
subtract 2x on both sides
2x-6y=-3
-2x =-2x
-6y=-2x-3
then divide both sides by -6
-6y=-2x-3
-6
that gives y=[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x+[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] for the original equation
Then plug in the point and slope in y=mx+b
Use the same slope since the lines are parallel
(-5)=([tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex])(8)+b
-5=[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]+b
then subtract 8/3 on both sides and that gives
-23/3 = b
then you can make the new equation using -23/3 for you b and 1/3 for your slop m

Step-by-step explanation:
they're telling you those lines are parallel there are specific knowns about the angles
since it's urgent I won't go into it, but PLS look it up it's super simple and makes sense
nonetheless this means angle 1 and angle 5 are the same value so we can set them equal
3x + 24 = 7x + 32
substract 32 from both sides
3x - 8 = 7x
substract 3x from both sides
-8 = 4x
divide 4 from both sides
-2 = x

You come from a large, dysfunctional family. You learn of this year’s upcoming reunion, and dread the very thought of being around those people for any length of time. However, you’ve been intrigued by your introductory statistics course, and decide you will have some fun with the reunion by using it as an opportunity to study your family. As a preliminary project, you want to keep track of how many times each family member verbally assaults another person throughout the first 24 hours.
After 24 hours, you review your notes:

5. What is the range of your dataset? Show how you figured it out.
6. Define, as specifically as necessary, the population in which you are interested for this research. In other words, how do you decide whether a person would be appropriate to include in your study?
7-9. Find the standard deviation for the data in the table on the first page. Showing your work is how you earn points for this part
10. What is the standard deviation of your dataset?
Answers
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data provided is for the number of times each family member verbally assaults another person throughout the first 24 hours.
Use Minitab to compute the descriptive statistics.
Go to Stat → Basic Statistics → Display Basic Statistics
A dialog box will open.
Select the variable.
Select 'Statistics'.
Another dialog box will open.
Select the statistics required.
Press OK.
Select "Graphs'.
Select Histogram.
Press OK
The output is attached below.
(1)
The mean of the data is, Mean = 10.
(2)
The median of the data is, Median = 8.50.
(3)
The mode of the data is, Mode = 5.
(4)
The inequality statement for the mean, median and mode is:
Mean > Median > Mode
A distribution is known as to be skewed to the right, or positively skewed, when maximum of the data are collected on the left of the histogram of the distribution.
Also if the Mean > Median > Mode then the distribution is skewed to the right.
For a skewed distribution the best of central tendency is the median.
So, the measure of central tendency that is most appropriate for this dataset is, Median = 8.50.
(5)
The range of the data set is:
Range = Maximum - Minimum
= 19 - 4
= 15
Thus, the range is 15.
(6)
The population of interest is the number of times the family members verbally assaults another person throughout the first 24 hours.
(7)
Consider the Minitab output.
The standard deviation of the data set is, SD = 5.60.
