The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean 266 days and standard deviation 16 days. The probability that the average pregnancy length for nine randomly chosen women exceeds 268 days is about a) 0.35 b) 0.40 c) 0.65 d) 0.27

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is    [tex]P( \= X > 268 ) =0.35376[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is  [tex]\mu = 266[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 16[/tex]

Generally the standard error of mean is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{16}{\sqrt{9} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = 5.33[/tex]

Generally the probability that the average pregnancy length for nine randomly chosen women exceeds 268 days is mathematically represented as

        [tex]P( \= X > 268 ) = P (\frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \sigma_{\= x}} > \frac{268 - 266}{5.33 } )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\= X -\mu}{\sigma_{\= x} }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ \=  X )[/tex]  

          [tex]P( \= X > 268 ) = P (Z > 0.3752 )[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the right  corresponding to  0.3752  is

P (Z  >  0.3752)   =    0.35376

So  

       [tex]P( \= X > 268 ) =0.35376[/tex]

what fraction is equal to 4.5

Answers

Answer:

9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the fraction form of 4.5... we need to set a denominator. The denominator has to be greater than 1 because we 4.5 is not a whole number...

we want the simplest denominator in the end... so we'll pick 2 for a denominator and change it if it doesn't work in the end...

now that we know the denominator... we have to make the numerator 4 times larger than the denominator (2)... when we do this... we get 8/2

since we made the numerator 4 times larger than the denominator... we know that 8/2 is the same as 4

now we need to find the remaining 1/2

this can be done by simply adding 1/2 to 8/2 (which is easily done thanks to a common denominator)

Since 9/2 cannot be simplified any further... it is our final answer

What is the ratio of two numbers?

"Ratios compare two numbers, usually by dividing them. If you are comparing one data point (A) to another data point (B), your formula would be A/B. This means you are dividing information A by information B."

Given, 20:5=30:X

⇒ [tex]\frac{20}{5} = \frac{30}{x}[/tex]

⇒ x = (30 × 5) / 20

⇒ x = 7.5

Therefore, the value of x is 7.5.

Write an equation perpendicular to x-3y=3 passes through (5,-9)

Answers

3y=x-3
y=1/3x-1
Perpendicular slope: -3
y=-3x+b
Plug in the coordinates in the equation:
-9=-3(5)+b
-9=-15+b
4=b
Equation: y=-3x+4
Also, when finding the perpendicular slope you take the reciprocal of the original slope and make it negative if it is positive and make it positive if it’s negative.

 Equation of a line perpendicular to x - 3y = 3 will be y = -3x + 6.

    If two lines having slopes [tex]m_1[/tex] and [tex]m_2[/tex] are perpendicular, property of perpendicular lines shows,

[tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex]

Line given in the question is,

x - 2y = 3

-2y = 3 - x

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x-1[/tex]

Slope of this line is,

[tex]m_1=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, slope of the perpendicular line to the given line will be,

[tex]\frac{1}{3}\times m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]m_2=-3[/tex]

Equation of a line passing through a point (h, k) and slope 'm' is given by,

y - k = m(x - h)

Therefore, equation of a line passing through (5, -9) and slope (-3) will be,

y - (-9) = -3(x - 5)

y + 9 = -3x + 15

y = -3x + 6

      Hence, equation of the line perpendicular to x - 3y = 3 will be y = -3x + 6.

Required:
What is the probability that the sample proportion exceeds 0.84?

Answers

Answer:

0.9495

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Population proportion; p = 90% = 0.9

Sample size; n = 100

Sample Proportion; p^ = 0.84

Formula to find the probability that sample proportion exceeds 0.84 is;

Z = P(p^ > 0.84) = (p - p^)/√(p^(1 - p^)/n)

Z = (0.84 - 0.9)/√(0.84(1 - 0.84)/100)

Z = -0.06/0.03666

Z = -1.64

From online z-score calculator attached, the probability is;

P(x>Z) = 0.9495
