Animal gestation is the period of time between conception and birth. Most of the time is broadly referring to mammals and NOT animals that lay eggs. Below is a histogram of animal gestation as well as the summary statistics. Calculate the typical values of the variable gestation. Summary statistics: \begin{tabular}{|l|r|r|c|r|c|r|r|} \hline Column & n & Min & Q1 & Median & Q3 & Max & Range \\ \hline gestation & 40 & 15 & 65.5 & 175.5 & 267.5 & 645 & 630 \\ \hline \end{tabular} about 175.5 days between 100 to 300 days between 65.5 days and 267.5 days

Animal Gestation Periods The accompanying table also. shows the gestation period (in days) for some animals. The gestation period is the length of pregnancy. Graph the gestation period and describe the distribution. If there are any outliers, identify the animal(s) and give the gestation periods. If you were to include humans in this graph, where would the data point be? The human gestation period is about 266 days.
Actual lengths of pregnancy terms for a particular species of mammal are nearly normally distributed about a mean pregnancy length with a standard deviation of 15 days. About what percentage of births would be expected to occur more than 45 days after the mean pregnancy length? About ....% of births would be expected to occur more than 45 days of the mean pregnancy length. (Type an integer or a decimal.)

The lengths of pregnancy terms for a particular species of mammal are nearly normally distributed about a mean pregnancy length with a standard deviation of 13 days. About what percentage of births would be expected to occur within 26 days of the mean pregnancy length? About ?% of births would be expected to occur within 26 days of the mean pregnancy length. (Type an integer or a decimal.)
