Question

A doctor has found that, over the years, 95% of the babies he has delivered weighed x pounds, where 8.41 < x < 12.312. What range of weights corresponds to this inequality?

A) 8.41 < x < 12.312
B) 8.41 ≤ x ≤ 12.312
C) 8.41 < x ≤ 12.312
D) 8.41 ≤ x < 12.312

Answer 1

The correct range of weights that corresponds to the given inequality is 8.41 < x ≤ 12.312 (Option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct range of weights that corresponds to the given inequality is 8.41 < x ≤ 12.312 (Option C).

When we have an inequality with two different values, we use the symbols < and ≤ to represent the range of values. In this case, 8.41 is less than x and 12.312 is less than or equal to x, which means x can be any value greater than 8.41 but less than or equal to 12.312.

So the correct answer is 8.41 < x ≤ 12.312 (Option C).
