Anurse decided to run a simulation on the weights of the next 15 babies that will be born is her hospital. the simulation uses values from 5 to 10 pounds. based on the simulation results, estimate the probability of a baby being born between 7.0 and 8.0 pounds. 8.9 7.1 7.0 5.3 6.8 5.5 5.3 5.1 7.3 8.5 7.5 9.7 0.533 0.067 0.333 0.467

The probability of a baby being born between 7.0 and 8.0 pounds is; 0.333

We are given simulated weight results as;

8.9, 7.1, 7.0, 5.3, 6.8, 5.5, 5.3, 5.1, 7.3, 8.5, 7.5, 9.7

The number of weights here is;

N = 12 weights

Now, we want to find the probability of the weight of the babies being between 7 and 8.

The number of weights that fall between 7 and 8 are;

7.0, 7.1, 7.3 and 7.5.

Thus;

P(a baby being born between 7.0 and 8.0 pounds) = 4/12

P(a baby being born between 7.0 and 8.0 pounds) = 0.333

There are 12 numbers in the list of values shown. Of this count, there are exactly four values that are between 7.0 and 8.0 (those values are: 7.1, 7.0, 7.3, 7.5)

So the empirical probability of picking a weight between 7.0 and 8.0 is 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.333 (approx)

Choice C) 0.333

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
