Data from the national vital statistics system reveal that the distribution of the duration of human pregnancies is approximately normal with a mean of 270 days and a standard deviation of 17 days. Which of the following statements are true? A. The area under the curve to the left of z = -1.53 is 0.0630. B. A z-score = 0.25 can be interpreted as a 25% probability that a pregnancy will last 274 days or longer. C. Approximately 14.46% of all pregnancies have a duration less than 252 days. D. The z-score for a pregnancy that has a duration of 275 days (9 months) is 0.29. E. The area under the curve to the left of a z-score = -0.10 is approximately 10%. F. Approximately 98% of all pregnancies have a duration longer than 236 days. G. The z-score for a pregnancy that has a duration of 300 days is 1.76. H. The area under the curve to the right of a z-score = 0.70 is 0.7580.

Ninety-eight percent of all babies survive delivery. However, 15 percent of all births involve Cesarean (C) sections, and when a C section is performed, the baby survives 96 percent of the time. If a randomly chosen pregnant woman does not have a C section, what is the probability that her baby survives?
