The human average gestation time is 266 days from conception. A researcher suspects that proper nutrition plays an important role and that poor women with inadequate food intake should have shorter gestation times even when given vitamin supplements. A random sample of 20 poor women given vitamin supplements throughout the pregnancy has mean gestation time from conception x = 256 days. Human gestation times are approximately Normal with standard deviation ? = 16 days. The P -value for the researcher

The p value for this case can be calculated with this probability:

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

represent the sample mean

represent the population standard deviation

sample size  

represent the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

represent the p value

Hypothesis to verify

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to see if inadequate food intake should have shorter gestation times, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

The statistic is given by:

 (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

The p value for this case can be calculated with this probability:

f

step-by-step explanation:

f

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
