When the weights of the newborn babies are graphed, the distribution of weights is symmetric with the majority of weights centered around a single peak. Which of the following describes the shape of this distribution?

A. Uniform

B. Bimodal

C. Bell-shaped

D. Skewed right

Answer Explanation:

The distribution of the weights of the newborn babies is symmetric meaning the mean, mode, and median are all equal. Thus, the bell-shape curve describes this kind of distribution of weights

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

  • Q #1: Which of the following statements is true about the graph?  

    A. The Chargers points per game decreased between seasons seven times between 1996 and 2015

    B. The Chargers scored their lowest number of points per game in 2003-04 season

    C. The Chargers scored their greatest number of points per game in the 2006-07 season

    D. The Chargers points remained unchanged in the seasons 2012-13 and 2013-14.

    Answer Explanation

    Looking at the give curve, we analyze each statement as:

    • For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.
    • For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season and not in 2003-04 season. So, the statement is false.
    • For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is false.
    • For statement 4: the two season which no change in the points were 2012-13 and 2013-14. So this is true according to given curve.

  • Q #3: A student performs the following estimations. 35+192  230 258+350  610 947+1032  1980 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 694+7618?

    A. 8320

    B. 8500

    C. 8300

    D. 8310

    Answer Explanation

    Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows

    35+192=227

    258+350=608

    947+1032=1979

    From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.

    694+7618=8312

    We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.
