use centarly limit theorum the lengths of pregency are norma
use centarly limit theorum the lengths of pregency are normally distributed with a mean of 264 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. if 36 women are randomly selected , find the probability that they have a mean pregrency between 264 days and 266 days
Solution
We first get the z score for the two values. As z = (x - u) sqrt(n) / s, then as          
 x1 = lower bound =    264      
 x2 = upper bound =    266      
 u = mean =    264      
 n = sample size =    36      
 s = standard deviation =    15      
           
 Thus, the two z scores are          
           
 z1 = lower z score = (x1 - u) * sqrt(n) / s =    0      
 z2 = upper z score = (x2 - u) * sqrt(n) / s =    0.8      
           
 Using table/technology, the left tailed areas between these z scores is          
           
 P(z < z1) =    0.5      
 P(z < z2) =    0.788144601      
           
 Thus, the area between them, by subtracting these areas, is          
           
 P(z1 < z < z2) =    0.288144601   [answer]
