A study of U.S. births published on the website Medscape from WebMD reported that the average birth weight of babies was 7.5 pounds and the standard deviation was about 1.2 pounds. Assume the distribution is approximately normal. Find the proportion of babies with birth weights of 6 pounds or less. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The proportion of babies with birth weights of 6 pounds or less is 0.1056 = 10.56%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Average birth weight of babies was 7.5 pounds and the standard deviation was about 1.2 pounds.

This means that [tex]\mu = 7.5, \sigma = 1.2[/tex]

Find the proportion of babies with birth weights of 6 pounds or less.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 6. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{6 - 7.5}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.25[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1056

The proportion of babies with birth weights of 6 pounds or less is 0.1056 = 10.56%.

Determine whether the given scenario meets the criteria of a binomial distribution. If not, identify the requirement that is not satisfied. If there is more than one requirement that is not satisfied, please indicate this by selecting the correct choice below. You ask ten randomly chosen college students to rate their experience at the dining hall on a scale of 1-5.

a. Yes, this scenario can be modeled using a binomial distribution.
b. No, there is no fixed number of trials and there are more than two possible outcomes for each trial.
c. No, there are more than two possible outcomes for each trial.
d. No, there is no fixed number of trials.

Answers

Answer:

c. No, there are more than two possible outcomes for each trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution:

Only two possible outcomes, success or failure.

In each trial, the probability of a success must be the same.

The number of trials must be fixed.

You ask ten randomly chosen college students to rate their experience at the dining hall on a scale of 1-5.

There are 10 trials, which is a fixed number and respects the binomial distribution. However, there are five possible outcomes(numbered 1 to 5). Since there is more than two possible outcomes, the scenario cannot be modeled using a binomial distribution, and the correct answer is given by option c.

Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

.25% for the tails times .5 for the odd number on the dice times 0.25 for the clubs because it is a 13/52 chance you will pull a clubs and put that all together and you get 0.03125 simplified and you get 0.03

Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of landing on 1 tail is 1/2, since it is 1 out of 2 options, a tail or a head. If you want the probability of two tails, it would be 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.

Next we can take the probability of rolling an odd number on a fair die. A fair die has 3 even numbers: 2,4,6; and 3 odd numbers: 1,3,5. Since 3/6 or 1/2 of the numbers are odd, there is a 50% chance that it would roll an odd number.

Finally, drawing a club out of standard deck of cards is 1/4, since there are 4 choices: hearts, spades, clubs, or diamonds. You now get the idea, and you can figure out that the probability would be 1/4.

Our last step is to multiply all the answers we get, since to get all of them at once would lower your chances. 1/4 * 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/32 = 0.03125; rounded to 0.03.

54.85 un²

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the square and the circle and add them together.

[tex]2\pi[/tex]r

radius = 3

[tex]2\pi[/tex]3

Circumference = [tex]2\pi[/tex]r = 2 × [tex]\pi[/tex] × 3 = 18.84956

18.84956 rounds to 18.85

The circle's area is 18.85 un².

The square is 6 by 6.

6 × 6 = 36

The square's area is 36 un².

18.85 un² + 36 un² = 54.85 un²

Express the complex number [tex]z = 8 \text{cis} \frac{2\pi}{3}[/tex] in rectangular form [tex]a+bi[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

- 4 + 4√3 i, where a = -4 & b = 4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

z = 8 cis(2π/3)

z = 8 [cos(2π/3) + i sin(2π/3) ]

z = 8 [cos(π - π/3) + i sin(π - π/3)]

z = 8 [ - cosπ/3 + i sin(π/3)]

z = 8[ - 1/2 + i √3/2 ]

z = - 4 + 4√3 i [in a + bi form]

Note that: cis x = cosx + i sinx

Answer:

[tex]a + bi = - 4 + 4 \sqrt{3} i[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given [tex]\displaystyle cis(\dfrac{2\pi}{3})[/tex]

recall complex number trigonometric form:

[tex] \displaystyle \: r( \cos( \theta) + i \sin( \theta) )[/tex]

we are already given that [tex]\theta=\dfrac{2\pi}{3}[/tex]

recall complex number rectangular form

[tex] \displaystyle \: a + bi[/tex]

where [tex]\displaystyle a=r\cos(\theta)\: and\: b=r\sin(\theta)[/tex]

let's work with a:

substitute the value of [tex]\theta[/tex] and r

[tex] \displaystyle \: a = 8 \times \cos( \frac{2\pi}{ 3} ) [/tex]

recall unit circle

so [tex]\cos(\dfrac{2\pi}{3})[/tex] should be in Q:II

[tex] \displaystyle \: a = 8 \times - \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

simplify multiplication:

[tex] \displaystyle \: a = - 4[/tex]

let's work with b:

substitute the value of [tex]\theta[/tex] and r:

[tex] \displaystyle \: b = 8\sin( \frac{3\pi}{2} ) [/tex]

recall unit circle so [tex]\sin(\dfrac{3\pi}{2})[/tex] should be in Q:II

[tex] \displaystyle \: b = 8 \times \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} [/tex]

simplify:

[tex] \displaystyle \: b = 4 \sqrt{3} [/tex]

so

[tex] \displaystyle \: b i= 4 \sqrt{3} i[/tex]

hence,

[tex]a + bi = - 4 + 4 \sqrt{3} i[/tex]

Noah has $5.

b.
Compare Elena's and Noah's money using fractions. Draw a diagram to
illustrate.

Answers

Answer:

a. $4

b. Noah has 5/5. Elena has 4/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Noah has $5.

a.

Elena has 80% of Noah's money.

80% of $5 = 0.80 * $5 = $4

b.

Noah has $5. We can consider $5 to be the full amount.

A full amount is 100% or 1 or 5/5.

Elena has 80% of Noah's money, so she has 80/100 of Noah's money.

80/100 reduces to 4/5.

Noah has 5/5, and Elena has 4/5.

The money that Elena has is $2.

What is percentage?

A percentage is a value that indicates 100th part of any quantity.

A percentage can be converted into a fraction or a decimal by dividing it by 100.

The given problem can be solved as follows,

(a) The amount of money Elena has is 40% of that of Noah.

It can be written as follows,

40% × 5

= 40/100 × 5

= 2

(b) Since the Elena has 40% of the Noah's money,

In the form of fraction it can be written as follows,

40% = 40/100

        = 2/5

This can be represented in a diagram as follows,

In the diagram shown the circle has in total 5 sectors of which 2 yellow sectors represent Elena's money.

Hence, the amount of money Elena has is $2 which is shown in the diagram.

A man who is 2m tall stands on horizontal ground 30m from a tree . The Angel of elevation of the top of the tree from his eyes is 28 . Fine the distance between the man eyes to the top of the tree

Answers

Answer:

33.97 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of a man = 2 m

He stands on a horizontal ground 30m from a tree.

The angle of elevation of the top of the tree from his eyes is 28°.

We need to find the distance between the man eyes to the top of the tree. Let the height of the tree be h

Using trigonometry to find such that,

 [tex]\tan28=\dfrac{h}{30}\\\\h=\tan28\times 30\\\\h=15.95[/tex]

Now let us consider that the distance between the man eyes to the top of the tree is x. Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]x^2=30^2+15.95^2\\\\x=33.97\ m[/tex]

So, the distance between the man eyes to the top of the tree is 33.97 m.
