Arterial Cord path. Umbilical cord blood analysis immediately after delivery is one way to measure the health of an infant after birth. Researchers G. Natalucci et al used it as a predictor of brain maturation of preterm infants in the article "Functional Brain
Maturation Assessed During Early Life Correlates with Anatomical Brain Maturation at Term-Equivalent Age in Preterm Infants " (Proly. are Resend, Vol. 74. No. 1. pp. 68-74). Based on this study. we will assume that, for preterm infants, the pH level of the arterial cord (one vessel in the umbilical cord) is normally distributed with a mean of 7.32 and a standard deviation of 0.1. Find the percentage of preterm infants who have arterial cord pH levels
a. between 7.0 and 7.5.
b. over 7.4.
Determine
We have provided a normal probability plot of data from a sample of a population. In each case, assess the normality of the variable under consideration.
A classic study by F. Thorndike on the number of calls to a wrong number appeared in the paper "Applications of Poisson's Probability Summation" (Bell Systems Techical Journal. Vol. 5, pp. 604-624). The study examined the number of calls to a wrong number from coin-box telephones in a large transportation terminal. Based on the results of that paper. we obtained the following percent distribution for the number of wrong numbers during a 1-minute period.
a. Construct a relative-frequency histogram of these wrong-number data.
b. Based on your histogram, do you think that the number of wrong numbers from these coin-box telephones is approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
