Yes there have been babies this young surviving, that is why there should not be abortions this late in pregnancy.

However, the babies that do survive are likely to have undeveloped organs so they require intensive care for a long time and they can have problems with their heart & lungs and other organs as they develop later.

37 weeks is considered a "full term" pregnancy. Before this time, the baby would be considered premature and could have health problems. Normal pregnancies last anywhere from 37-42 weeks.

Joe's electric made 17 customer calls last week and 23 this week how many calls must be made next week in order to to maintain an average of a least 21 calls for the three week period?

23 + 17 = 40 to maintain an average of 21 you would need 63 for a 3 week period. So you would need 23 more on the third week to maintain a 21 call average. (23+17) = (40 - 63) = 23 :]
