The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 250 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer?








b. If we stipulate that a baby is premature if the length of the pregnancy is in the lowest 8% (8th percentile), find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.005% probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer

b) The pregnancy length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature is 229 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 250, \sigma = 15[/tex]

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 308. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{308 - 250}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.87[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.87[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.99995

1 - 0.99995 - 0.00005

0.005% probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer

b. If we stipulate that a baby is premature if the length of the pregnancy is in the lowest 8% (8th percentile), find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

The 8th percentile is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.08. So it is X when Z = -1.405.

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

[tex]-1.405 = \frac{X - 250}{15}[/tex]

[tex]X - 250 = -1.405*15[/tex]

[tex]X = -1.405*15 + 250[/tex]

[tex]X = 229[/tex]

The pregnancy length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature is 229 days.

Answers

Answer:

mean: 46.63636

median: 34

mode: 87

range:95

How To:

Step 1 : To find Mean

    Average = ( 1 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 10 ) / 6

             =36 / 6

    Mean = 6

Step 2 : To find Median

   Middle value = ( 5 + 7 ) / 2

               = 12 / 2

    Median = 6

Step 3 : To find Mode

   Mode = 5 (The number with more repetition, here 5 is repeated two times)

Step 4 : To find Range

    Range = Largest number - Smallest number

       = 10-1

       = 9

Range = 9

Answer:

Mean: 46.6

Mode: 87

Median: 34

Range: 95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean: (finding the average)

Median: (the middle number of the data set)

Mode: (the most number repeated from the data set)

Range: (is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value)

first arrange the following data set.

23, 87, 19, 34, 37, 87, 81, 5, 14, 100, 26

so:

5, 14, 19, 23, 26, 34, 37, 81, 87, 87, 100

Lets us first find the mean by adding up all the numbers and dividing it by the amount of numbers in the data set.

Mean: 5 + 14 + 19 + 23 + 26 + 34 + 37 + 81 + 87 + 87 + 100 = 513/11 = 46.6

Mode: 87

Median: 34

Range: 100 - 5 = 95

               [tex]f^{l} (x) = \frac{8 x}{3-x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Step(i):-

Given the function

                        [tex]f(x) = \frac{3 x}{8+x}[/tex]

Given function is one-one and onto function

Hence f(x) is bijection function

                   [tex]y = f(x) = \frac{3 x}{8+x}[/tex]

now cross multiplication, we get

            ( 8+x)y = 3 x

             8 y + x y = 3 x

             8 y = 3 x - x y

taking Common 'x' we get

            x (3 - y) = 8 y

                   [tex]x = \frac{8 y}{3-y}[/tex]

Step(ii):-

The inverse function

                 [tex]x = \frac{8 y}{3-y} = f^{l}(y)[/tex]

The inverse function of x

                  [tex]f^{l}(x) = \frac{8 x}{3-x}[/tex]

Final answer:-

Inverse of f(x)

               [tex]f^{l} (x) = \frac{8 x}{3-x}[/tex]

Two samples each of size 20 are taken from independent populations assumed to be normally distributed with equal variances. The first sample has a mean of 43.5 and standard deviation of 4.1 while the second sample has a mean of 40.1 and standard deviation of 3.2. A researcher would like to test if there is a difference between the population means at the 0.05 significance level. What can the researcher conclude?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{(43.5 -40.1)-(0)}{3.678\sqrt{\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20}}}=2.923[/tex]

The degrees of freedom are

[tex]df=20+20-2=38[/tex]

And the p value is given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{38}>2.923) =0.0058[/tex]

Since the p value for this cae is lower than the significance level of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true means for this case are significantly different

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have two independent samples from two normal distributions with equal variances we are assuming that  

[tex]\sigma^2_1 =\sigma^2_2 =\sigma^2[/tex]

And the statistic is given by this formula:

[tex]t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{S_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}[/tex]

Where t follows a t distribution with [tex]n_1+n_2 -2[/tex] degrees of freedom and the pooled variance [tex]S^2_p[/tex] is given by this formula:

[tex]S^2_p =\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1 +(n_2 -1)S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}[/tex]

The system of hypothesis on this case are:

Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu_1 = \mu_2[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis: [tex]\mu_1 \neq \mu_2[/tex]

We have the following data given:

[tex]n_1 =20[/tex] represent the sample size for group 1

[tex]n_2 =20[/tex] represent the sample size for group 2

[tex]\bar X_1 =43.5[/tex] represent the sample mean for the group 1

[tex]\bar X_2 =40.1[/tex] represent the sample mean for the group 2

[tex]s_1=4.1[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for group 1

[tex]s_2=3.2[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for group 2

First we can begin finding the pooled variance:

[tex]\S^2_p =\frac{(20-1)(4.1)^2 +(20 -1)(3.2)^2}{20 +20 -2}=13.525[/tex]

And the deviation would be just the square root of the variance:

[tex]S_p=3.678[/tex]

The statistic is givne by:

[tex]t=\frac{(43.5 -40.1)-(0)}{3.678\sqrt{\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20}}}=2.923[/tex]

The degrees of freedom are

[tex]df=20+20-2=38[/tex]

And the p value is given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{38}>2.923) =0.0058[/tex]

Since the p value for this cae is lower than the significance level of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true means for this case are significantly different

Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the researcher can conclude that there is a difference between the population means at the 0.05 significance level.

What are the hypothesis tested?

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is no difference, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is a difference, that is:

[tex]H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0[/tex]

What is the mean and the standard error of the distribution of differences?

For each sample, we have that they are given by

[tex]\mu_1 = 43.5, s_1 = \frac{4.1}{\sqrt{20}} = 0.9168[/tex]

[tex]\mu_2 = 40.2, s_2 = \frac{3.2}{\sqrt{20}} = 0.7155[/tex]

Hence, for the distribution of differences, the mean and the standard error are given by:

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 43.5 - 40.2 = 3.3[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.9168^2 + 0.7155^2} = 1.163[/tex]

What is the test statistic?

It is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = 0[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, hence:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{3.3 - 0}{1.163}[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.84[/tex]

What is the decision?

Considering a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with a significance level of 0.05 and 20 + 20 - 2 = 38 df, the critical value is of [tex]|z^{\ast}| = 2.0244[/tex].

Since the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value, it is found that the researcher can conclude that there is a difference between the population means at the 0.05 significance level.

State the hypotheses. The first step is to state the null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis: μNew< μOld

Alternative hypothesis: μNew > μOld

Note that these hypotheses constitute a one-tailed test. The null hypothesis will be rejected if the mean difference between sample means is too small.

Formulate an analysis plan. For this analysis, the significance level is 0.05. Using sample data, we will conduct a two-sample t-test of the null hypothesis.

Analyze sample data. Using sample data, we compute the standard error (SE), degrees of freedom (DF), and the t statistic test statistic (t).

[tex]SE=\sqrt{\frac{S_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{S_2^2}{n_2} } \\\\SE=4.29[/tex]

DF = 31

[tex]t = \frac{(x_1-x_2)-d}{SE} \\\\t = - 0.4997[/tex]

where s1 is the standard deviation of sample 1, s2 is the standard deviation of sample 2, n1 is the size of sample 1, n2 is the size of sample 2, x1 is the mean of sample 1, x2 is the mean of sample 2, d is the hypothesized difference between population means, and SE is the standard error.

The observed difference in sample means produced a t statistic of - 0.499. We use the t Distribution Calculator to find P(t < - 0.499) = 0.311

Therefore, the P-value in this analysis is 0.311.

Interpret results. Since the P-value (0.311) is greater than the significance level (0.05), we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

From the above test we do have sufficient evidence in the favor of the claim that new method is efficient than the old method.

Solve: 3x
+ 4 = 5x - 4x - 8​

Answers

Answer:

3x =  - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplify this equation in terms of what is already provided:

3x + 4 = 5x - 4x - 8 ⇒ 3x + 4 = x - 8

2. Now subtract 3x from either side, at the same time adding 8 to either side:   3x + 4 = x - 8 ⇒ 4 = -2x - 8 ⇒ 12 = -2x

3. Divide -2 on either side to isolate the x, and recieve it's value:

12 = -2x ⇒ x = 12/-2 ⇒ x = -6

4. The question demads for the value of 3x, so simply multiply the known value of x by 3, as such: x = -6 ⇒ 3x = -6 * 3 = -18

The answer is 3x=-18


How does Harrison Bergeron's physical description help to create satire?

Answers

Answer:

The absurdity of Harrison's exaggerated handicaps ridicules society's obsession with equality.Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the year 2081, the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, loud radios that disrupt thoughts inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic.

One April, 14-year-old Harrison Bergeron, an intelligent, athletic, and good-looking teenager, is taken away from his parents, George and Hazel Bergeron, by the government. They are barely aware of the tragedy, as Hazel has "average" intelligence (a euphemism for stupidity), and George has a handicap radio installed by the government to regulate his above-average intelligence.

Hazel and George watch ballet on television.They comment on the dancers, who are weighed down to counteract their gracefulness and masked to hide their attractiveness. George's thoughts are continually interrupted by the different noises emitted by his handicap radio, which piques Hazel's curiosity and imagination regarding handicaps. Noticing his exhaustion, Hazel urges George to lie down and rest his "handicap bag", 47 pounds (21 kg) of weights locked around George's neck. She suggests taking a few of the weights out of the bag, but George resists, aware of the illegality of such an action.

On television, a news reporter struggles to read the bulletin and hands it to the ballerina wearing the most grotesque mask and heaviest weights. She begins reading in her unacceptably natural, beautiful voice, then apologizes before switching to a more unpleasant voice. Harrison's escape from prison is announced, and a full-body photograph of Harrison is shown, indicating that he is seven feet (2.1 m) tall and burdened by three hundred pounds (140 kg) of handicaps.

George recognizes his son for a moment, before having the thought eliminated by his radio. Harrison himself then storms the television studio in an attempt to overthrow the government. He calls himself the Emperor and rips off all of his handicaps, along with the handicaps of a ballerina, whom he proclaims his "Empress". He orders the musicians to play, promising them nobility if they do their best. Unhappy with their initial attempt, Harrison takes control for a short while, and the music improves. After listening and being moved by the music, Harrison and his Empress dance while flying to the ceiling, then pause in mid-air to kiss.

Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, enters the studio and kills Harrison and the Empress with a ten-gauge double-barreled shotgun. She forces the musicians to put on their handicaps, and the television goes dark. George, unaware of the televised incident, returns from the kitchen and asks Hazel why she was crying, to which she replies that something sad happened on television that she cannot remember. He comforts her and they return to their average lives.
