Consider babies born in the "normal" range of 37–43 weeks gestational age. A paper suggests that a normal distribution with mean μ = 3500 grams and standard deviation σ = 785 grams is a reasonable model for the probability distribution of the continuous numerical variable x = birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby.

a. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby exceeds 4000 grams? Is between 3000 and 4000 grams?
b. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby is either less than 2000 grams or greater than 5000 grams?
c. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby exceeds 7 pounds? (Hint: 1 pound 453.59 grams)
d. How would you characterize the most extreme 0.1% of all full-term baby birth weights?
e. If x is a variable with a normal distribution and a is a numerical constant (a O), then y ax also has a normal distribution. Use this formula to determine the distribution of full-term baby birth weight expressed in pounds (shape, mean, and standard deviation), and then recalculate the probability from Part (c). How does this compare to your previous answer?

Paula makes stained-glass windows and sells them to boutique stores. if her costs total $12,000 per year plus $4 per window for the frame. how many windows must she produce to earn a profit of at least $48,000 in one year if she sells the windows for $28 each? 1. define a variable for the situation. 2. write an inequality that represents her profit. note: revenue is money coming in. cost is money going out. profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost. in other words: revenue - costs profit 3.using words, describe how many windows she must sell to have a profit of at least $48,000.
