Algebra.Com's Answer #841757 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! the calculator at https://davidmlane.com/hyperstat/z_table.html can help solve this.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your mean is 265 days and your standard deviation is 11 days.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(a) What is the minimum pregnancy length that can be in the top 8% of pregnancy lengths?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that would be approximately 280.456 days.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here's what it looks like in the calculator.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(b) What is the maximum pregnancy length that can be in the bottom 7% of pregnancy lengths?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that would be approximately 248.766 days.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here's what it looks like in the calculator.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you could also solve it manually using z-score tables.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that take more skill and effort that you don't need to learn unless it's absolutely necessary for your course of instruction.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you want help doing it that way, just let me know and i'll give you instructions.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "otherwise, just use the calculator. \n" ); document.write( "it still takes some knowledge to use it correctly but it's way more easier than trying to do it manually via the tables.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
