Fawns between 1 and 5 months old have a body weight that is approximately normally distributed with mean ? = 26.6 kilograms and standard deviation ? = 3.4 kilograms. Let x be the weight of a fawn in kilograms. (g) If a fawn weighs 14 kilograms, would you say it is an unusually small animal? Explain using z values and the figure above. A. Yes. This weight is 3.71 standard deviations below the mean; 14 kg is an unusually low weight for a fawn. B. Yes. This weight is 1.85 standard deviations below the mean; 14 kg is an unusually low weight for a fawn. C. No. This weight is 3.71 standard deviations below the mean; 14 kg is a normal weight for a fawn. D. No. This weight is 3.71 standard deviations above the mean; 14 kg is an unusually high weight for a fawn. E. No. This weight is 1.85 standard deviations above the mean; 14 kg is an unusually high weight for a fawn. (h) If a fawn is unusually large, would you say that the z value for the weight of the fawn will be close to 0, −2, or 3? Explain. A. It would have a negative z, such as −2. B. It would have a large positive z, such as 3. C. It would have a z of 0.
