Question

In the United States, birth weights of newborn babies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of ? = 3,500 g and a standard deviation of ? = 500 g. According to the empirical rule, 68% of all newborn babies in the United States weigh between and .

Answer 1

Answer:

3000 and 4000

95% of all newborn babies in the United States weigh between *2500g and 4500g*

99.7% of all newborn babies in the United States weigh between *2,000g and 5,000g*

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that 68% of all newborn babies in the United States weigh between 3,000g and 4,000g.

What is the Empirical Rule?

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

• Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

• Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.

• Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, the mean is of 3,500 g with a standard deviation of 500 g, hence:

3500 - 500 = 3,000 g.

3500 + 500 = 4,000 g.

Hence, 68% of all newborn babies in the United States weigh between 3,000g and 4,000g.
