Assume that the duration of human pregnancies can be described by a Normal model with a mean of 265 days and a standard deviation of 17 days.
a) What percentage of pregnancies should last between 270 and 281 days?
b) At least how many days should the longest 15% of all pregnancies last?
c) Suppose a certain obstetrician is currently providing prenatal care to 61 pregnant women. Let y represent the mean length of their pregnancies. According to the Central Limit Theorem, what's the distribution of this sample mean, y? Specify the model, mean, and standard deviation.
d) What's the probability that the mean duration of these patients' pregnancies will be less than 260 days?
