Assume the birth weights at a local hospital have a normal distribution with a mean of 110 oz and a standard deviation of 15 oz. Draw a normal curve and label the mean and each value which is one, two, or three standard deviations above the mean. Then label each value which is one, two, or three standard deviations below the mean.

Suppose you have already calculated the mean, the average deviation, and the standard deviation of the weights in pounds of 20 third-graders. a. if these weights were converted to kilograms and the mean and the average deviation were once again calculated, would the second average deviation be (numerically) less than, greater than, or equal to the first average deviation? Explain your answer. b. If the standard deviation of these weights were calculated in kilograms, would it be (numerically) less than, greater than, or equal to the first standard deviation?
