Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given values
  • Mean (μ) = 266 days
  • Standard deviation (σ) = 16 days
  • The area to the right of X = 280 days is 0.1908
Step 2: Interpret the first part of the question
  • The first part asks for the interpretation of the area to the right of X = 280 days.
Step 3: Provide the first interpretation
  • The proportion of human pregnancies that last more than 280 days is 0.1908.
Step 4: Interpret the second part of the question
  • The second part asks for another interpretation of the same area.
Step 5: Provide the second interpretation
  • The probability that a randomly selected human pregnancy lasts more than 280 days is 0.1908.

Final Answer

  1. The proportion of human pregnancies that last more than 280 days is 0.1908.
  2. The probability that a randomly selected human pregnancy lasts more than 280 days is 0.1908.
