Problem

Question 24 32 The weights for newborn babies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 6.7 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.5 pounds. Consider a group of 800 newborn babies: 1. How many would you expect to weigh between 4 and 7 pounds? 2. How many would you expect to weigh less than 6 pounds? 3. How many would you expect to weigh more than 5 pounds? 4. How many would you expect to weigh between 6.7 and 8 pounds? Question Help: Video Read Message instructor Submit Question

Solution

Step 1 :Calculate the probability of a newborn baby weighing between 4 and 7 pounds using the normal distribution with a mean of 6.7 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.5 pounds

Step 2 :Multiply this probability by the total number of babies (800) to get the expected number of babies in that weight range

Step 3 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{435}\)
