Problem

Suppose the lengths of human pregnancies are normally distributed with $\mu=266$ days and $\sigma=16$ days. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
(a) The figure to the right represents the normal curve with $\mu=266$ days and $\sigma=16$ days. The area to the left of $X=245$ is 0.0947 . Provide two interpretations of this area.

Answer

The proportion of human pregnancies that last less than 245 days is \(\boxed{0.0947}\) or \(\boxed{9.47\%}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Suppose the lengths of human pregnancies are normally distributed with \(\mu=266\) days and \(\sigma=16\) days.

Step 2 :The figure to the right represents the normal curve with \(\mu=266\) days and \(\sigma=16\) days. The area to the left of \(X=245\) is 0.0947.

Step 3 :Provide two interpretations of this area. Provide one interpretation of the area using the given values.

Step 4 :The proportion of human pregnancies that last less than 245 days is \(\boxed{0.0947}\) or \(\boxed{9.47\%}\).

Step 5 :The proportion of human pregnancies that last less than 245 days is \(\boxed{0.0947}\) or \(\boxed{9.47\%}\).
