Suppose the lengths of human pregnancies are normally distributed with mu μ = 266 days and Ļ = 16 days. (a) The figure to the right represents the normal curve with μ=266 days and sigma Ļ = 16 days. The area to the left X=235 is 0.0263. Provide two interpretations of this area. Provide one interpretation of the area using the given values. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Type integers or decimals.) A. The proportion of human pregnancies that last less than 235 days is 0.0263. Your answer is correct. B. The proportion of human pregnancies that last more more than nothing days is nothing . Provide a second interpretation of the area using the given values. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Type integers or decimals.) A. The probability that a randomly selected human pregnancy lasts more than __?__days is __?__. B. The probability that a randomly selected human pregnancy lasts less than __?__days is __?__.

The length of human pregnancies are approximately normally distributed with mean $\mu=266$ days and standard deviation $\sigma=16$ days. (a) What percent of pregnancies lasts more than 270 days? (b) What percent of pregnancies lasts less than 250 days? (c) What percent of pregnancies lasts between 240 and 280 days? (d) What is the probability that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts more than 280 days? (e) What is the probability that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts no more than 245 days? (f) A "very preterm" baby is one whose gestation period is less than 224 days. What proportion of births is "very preterm"?
