Assume that the duration of human pregnancies can be described by a Normal model with mean
267
days and standard deviation
15
days.
a) What percentage of pregnancies should last between
271
and
282
days?
b) At least how many days should the longest
25%
of all pregnancies last?
c) Suppose a certain obstetrician is currently providing prenatal care to
54
pregnant women. Let
y
represent the mean length of their pregnancies. According to the Central Limit Theorem, what's the distribution of this sample mean,
y?
Specify the model, mean, and standard deviation.
d) What's the probability that the mean duration of these patients' pregnancies will be less than
263
days?
