Scores on the ACT college entrance exam follow a bell-shaped distribution with a mean and a standard deviation . Wayne鈥檚 standardized score on the ACT was What was Wayne鈥檚 actual ACT score?
R2.9 low-birth-weight babies Researchers in Norway analyzed data on the birth weights of 400,000 newborns over a 6-year period. The distribution of birth weights is Normal with a mean of 3668 grams and a standard deviation of 511 grams. 17 Babies that weigh less than 2500 grams at birth are classified as "low birth weight."
(a) What percent of babies will be identified as having low birth weight? Show your work.
(b) Find the quartiles of the birth weight distribution. Show your work.
