Could you please solve the problem below? I need detailed mathematical process steps and explanation. (a) The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean 266 days and standard deviation 16 days. The probability that the average pregnancy length for 6 randomly chosen women exceeds 270 days is about
A.0.4
B.0.27
C.0.07
D. None of the above.
(b) Scores on the mathematics part of the SAT exam in a recent year were roughly Normal with mean 562 and standard deviation 112. You choose an SRS of 100 students and average their SAT math scores. If you do this many times, with a sample of size 100 each time, the mean of the average scores will get close to
A.5.62
B.562
C.56.2
D. None of the above.
(c) A newborn baby has extremely low birth weight (ELBW) if it weighs less than 1000 grams. A study of the health of such children in later years examined a random sample of 219 children. Their mean weight at birth was \bar {x}=810 grams. This sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the mean weight \mu in the population of all ELBW babies. This means that
A. the average sample mean \bar {x}, over all possible samples, is equal to \mu.
B. the sample mean \bar {x} is always equal to \mu.
C. the sample mean \bar {x} will have a distribution that is close to Normal.
D. None of the above.
