I'm completely lost can someone really break it down
in English with how to answer each
For each question, draw the appropriate picture, with shading. Then show all calculations and write a sentence for your answer.
The weight of new-born babies in the US is normally
distributed with a mean of 7.5 pounds and a standard deviation of 2
pounds.
What percentage of new-born babies in the US weighs
more than 7.5 pounds?
What is the probability that a new-born baby in the US
weighs more than 9.5 pounds?
What is the chance that a new-born baby in the US
weighs less than 3.5 pounds?
What is the probability that a new-born baby in the US
weighs between 3.5 pounds and 9.5 pounds?
1) percentage of new-born babies in the US weighs more than 7.5 pounds is 50%
2) the probability that a new-born baby in the US weighs more than 9.5 pounds is 0.1587
3) the chance that a new-born baby in the US weighs less than 3.5 is 0.0227
4) the probability that a new-born baby in the US weighs between 3.5 pounds and 9.5 pounds is 0.8186
