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%.

A real estate agent working in a large city believes that, for three-bedroom houses, the selling price of the house decreases by approximately $2,000 for every mile increase in the distance of the house from the city center. To investigate the belief, the agent obtained a random sample of 20 three-bedroom houses that sold in the last year. The selling price, in thousands of dollars, and the distance from the city center, in miles, for each of the 20 houses are shown in the scatterplot. The table shows computer output from a regression analysis of the data.


a) Assume all conditions for inference are met. Construct and interpret a 95 percent confidence interval for the slope of the least-squares regression line.
b) Does the confidence interval contradict the agent’s belief about the relationship between the selling price and distance from the city center? Justify your answer.

Graph the parabola using the direction, vertex, focus, and axis of symmetry.

Direction: Opens Up

Vertex: (0,0)

Focus: (0,1/4)

Axis of Symmetry: x=0

How to find probability using binomial distribution?

The binomial distribution is based on the binomial theorem which can be written as (a + b)ⁿ = ⁿC₀aⁿb⁰ + ⁿC₁aⁿ⁻¹b¹ + ⁿC₂aⁿ⁻²b²+ ....+ ⁿCₙa₀bⁿ.

In order to use in the probability, there should be events independent of each other and the sum of there probabilities is 1.

Given that,

The probability of making free-throw is 70% = 70/100 = 0.7

Then, the probability of not making free-throw is 1 - 0.7 = 0.3.

The exact 8 free-throws out of 10 implies that there will be 2 throws that are not free.

So, this case belongs to the binomial distribution which can be written as,

ⁿCₓpˣqⁿ⁻ˣ, where p is the probability of success and q is the probability of failure, n is the total number of trials and x is the number of favorable trials.

Now, in order to find the probability of exact 8 free-throws out of 10 can be found using binomial distribution as follows,

P (exact 8 throws) = ¹⁰C₈(0.8)⁸(0.3)²

Hence, the probability of getting exact 8 free-throws out of 10 is  ¹⁰C₈(0.8)⁸(0.3)².

A circular tabletop is to be cut from a rectangular piece of wood that measures 1.20m by 1.80m what is the radius of the largest tabletop that could be cut?

Answers

Answer:

0.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The largest table top that could be cut from a rectangular piece of wood,

will have a diameter equal to the smallest dimension of the rectangular piece of wood. As shown in the diagram attached.

 If it is cut along the biggest dimension of the rectangular piece of wood, the tabletop won't be circular, rather, it will form a sphere. So the only way the tabletop can be cut out of the rectangular piece of wood to make it circular is to cut it along the smaller dimension of the rectangular piece of wood.

Given, the dimensions of the rectangular piece of wood as 1.2 m by 1.8 m.

Then the diameter of the table top formed = 1.2 m.

but,

radius = diameter/2

radius = 1.2/2

radius = 0.6 m

Hence, the radius of the largest tabletop that could be cut out of the rectangular piece of wood is 0.6 m

An electrician charges a service fee of $60 to inspect a home. If he has to
work on something he charges $25 per hour. If he charges $172.50, how
many hours did he work?

Answers

Answer:

About 4.5 hours, you can say 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation

You can solve this by constructing a linear equation, which would turn out like this, 25x+60=172.50. How I got this is that it says his charge is 25 per hour, that is basically multiplication by an unknown number, so put that as a variable. Next it says he has a service fee of 60 dollars, this is what's called an initial fee. Now all we need to do is solve for x, which turns into 4.5. I don't know if they ask to round your answer or something, I hope this is right.

Using calculator to obtain the mean and standard deviation :

Mean, x = 1022.775

Standard deviation, s = 75.124

Sample size, n = 40
