the lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. find the probability of a pregnancy lasting more than 308 days

Respuesta :

The probability of a pregnancy lasting more than 308 days will be 0.0038

What is probability ?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning the occurrence of a random event and probability is synonymous with possibility, so you could say it's the possibility that a particular event will happen.

Let x be the length of pragnancy,

Then we need to find , P(x>308)

We can use the table of normal distribution so,

P(x>308) = P(x-268/15>2.67)

We know that ,

P(x-268/15 > 2.67) = 1 -  P(x-268/15 < 2.67)

 P(x-268/15 < 2.67) =  0.9962

So,

P(x-268/15 > 2.67) = 1 -  0.9962

P(x-268/15>2.67) = 0.0038

Therefore,

P(x>308) = 0.0038

The probability of a pregnancy lasting more than 308 days will be 0.0038
