The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies accordingly to a distribution that is approximately normal with mean 266 days and standard deviation 16 days. a study enrolls a random sample or 16 pregnant women. what are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of Xbar? What is the probability the average pregnancy length exceed 270 days?

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that mean (μ) = 266 days, standard deviation (σ) = 16 days, sample size (n) = 16 women.

a) The mean of the sampling distribution of Xbar () is given as:

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of Xbar () is given as:

b) The z score is a measure in statistics used to determine by how much the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

For x > 270 days:

The probability the average pregnancy length exceed 270 days = P(x > 270) = P(z > 1) = 1 - P(z < 1) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587 = 15.87%

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units
