The human average gestation time is 266 days from conception. A researcher suspects that proper nutrition plays an important role and that poor women with inadequate food intake should have shorter gestation times even when given vitamin supplements. A random sample of 20 poor women given vitamin supplements throughout the pregnancy has mean gestation time from conception x = 256 days. Human gestation times are approximately Normal with standard deviation ? = 16 days. The P -value for the researcher

The p value for this case can be calculated with this probability:

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

represent the sample mean

represent the population standard deviation

sample size  

represent the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

represent the p value

Hypothesis to verify

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to see if inadequate food intake should have shorter gestation times, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

The statistic is given by:

 (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

The p value for this case can be calculated with this probability:

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m         60 second   60 minutes

  * *         = 54000 meters/ hour

second     1 minute             1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m       1 km

*   = 54 km / hours

hour               1000m
