Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.04

b) 0.54674

c) 0.10565

d) It is not unusual to have preterm babies

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of a particular​ animal's pregnancies are approximately normally​ distributed, with mean, μ = 272 days and standard deviation, σ = 16 days.

We solve the above question using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

​(a) What proportion of pregnancies lasts more than 300 ​days?

z = 300 - 272/16

= 1.75

Probability/proportion value from Z-Table:

P(x<300) = 0.95994

P(x>300) = 1 - P(x<300) = 0.040059

Approximately = 0.04

​(b) What proportion of pregnancies lasts between 260 and 284 ​days?

For x = 260 days

z = 260 - 272/16

= -0.75

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 260) = 0.22663

For x = 284

z= 284 - 272/16

= 0.75

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 284) = 0.77337

The proportion of pregnancies lasts between 260 and 284 ​days is

P(x= 284) - P(x = 260)

0.77337 - 0.22663

= 0.54674

​(c) What is the probability that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts no more than 252 ​days?

No more than means less than or equal to, hence, we are to find

P ≤ 252 days

Hence,

z = 252 - 272/16

= -1.25

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x ≤ 252) = 0.10565

​(d) A​ "very preterm" baby is one whose gestation period is less than 236 days. Are very preterm babies​ unusual?

We find the probability of 236 days

For x = 236

z = 236 - 272/16

z = -2.25

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<236) = 0.012224

Converting to percentage = 1.2224%

Hence, it is not unusual to have preterm babies

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Greater, provided the divisor is positive.

It would be more accurate and clearer to say that when dividing a number which is greater than zero by a number between 0 and 1, then the quotient is greater than the dividend.

If the divisor is negative and the dividend is positive, then the quotient is negative (and hence less than the dividend).

Multiplying and Dividing by Powers of 10 When multiplying a number by 10, move the decimal to the right. When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left. Why?

Answers

Answer:

Because we actually divide by 10 when a number is multiplied by 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]a[/tex] be a number.

When we multiply a number by 10:

[tex]a \times 10 = 10 a[/tex] (One '0' is increased in the number)

For example:

[tex]23 \times 10 = 230[/tex]

Considering a decimal number:

[tex]2.3 \times 10 = 23[/tex]

Multiplying a number with 0.1 (which is actually [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]) means dividing the number by 10.

[tex]23\times 0.1 =23\times \frac{1}{10}=2.3[/tex]

Considering a decimal number:

[tex]2.3 \times 0.1 = 2.3 \times \frac{1}{10} = 0.23[/tex]

Therefore, When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left.

Answer:

Sample Response: You move the decimal to the right when multiplying a number by 10 because you are making the number bigger. You move the decimal to the left when multiplying a number by 0.1 because you are making the number smaller.

Use inductive reasoning to write the next two terms in each sequence of numbers.

B.) 720, 180, 360, 90, _____, _____ .

Answers

Answer: 180, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you look at the patterns for each numbers, so you can apply the rules for the next two sequences

720 divided by 180 = 4

360 divided by 180 = 2

360 divided by 90 = 4

for the next sequences, you multiply the last number by 2 (90 x 2 =180)

then divide the answer by 4 to get the answer (180 divided by 4 = 45)

so the next two numbers are 180, 45

Answers

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

[tex]y=-6x-10[/tex]

[tex]y=-3x-21[/tex]

solving the system of the equations

Arrange the equation variables for elimination

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}y+6x=-10\\ y+3x=-21\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]y+3x=-21[/tex]

[tex]-[/tex]

[tex]\underline{y+6x=-10}[/tex]

[tex]-3x=-11[/tex]

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}y+6x=-10\\ -3x=-11\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

solve

[tex]-3x=-11[/tex]

Divide both sides by -3

[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{-11}{-3}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}y+6x=-10\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}x=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y+6\cdot \frac{11}{3}=-10[/tex]

[tex]y+6\cdot \frac{11}{3}=-10[/tex]

[tex]y=-32[/tex]

Therefore, the solutions to the system of the equations are:

[tex]y=-32,\:x=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

But, it seems none of the options is true.

Answers

Answer:

Slope = -2, y-intercept = 12 (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula:

slope = change in y (y2-y1) / change in x (x2-x1)

slope = (12-18)/(0+3)

slope = -6/3

slope = -2

The slope is -2

If you look in the table, when x=0, the y value equals 12. This means that the y-intercept = 12, since the y-intercept is when the x equals 0. Thus we have our answer.
