8.08 percent of babies are born prematurely .

We have following information,

lengths of pregnancy of humans are Normally distributed.

mean of distribution ( μ ) = 268 days

standard deviations of distribution = 15 days

We shall find out the pecent of babies are born. prematurely.

Using the Normal distribution formula ,

Z = ( X - μ ) /σ

where X---> sample mean

μ --> poplution mean

putting the possble values of variables we get,

if a baby born three weaks early then he is considered as premature.

X = 21 , μ = 268 , r =

Z = ( 21-268)/ 15 = - 247/15 = - 16.4

Now, p-value corresponding to Z-value= -16.4 is

8.08..

thus for z= -16.4 , p-value will be 8.08 .. So, 8.08 percent of babies are born prematurely.
