Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2500 grams and a standard deviation of 800 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3000 grams and a standard deviation of 385 grams. If a 32-week gestation period baby weighs 2650 grams and a 41-week gestation period baby weighs 3150 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation period? Find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively more? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) A. The baby born in week 41 weighs relatively more since its z-score, nothing, is smaller than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 32. B.

According to United States Department of Agriculture, the average retail price of conventional whole milk at New York City in the year 2020 (up to November 2020 considered) is $3.92 per gallon. The standard deviation in the retail prices in the year 2020 (up to November 2020 considered) is $0.084. You are given a task of selecting randomly a sample of 85 milk bottles (whole milk of 1 gallon volume). a. Calculate µx̅ and σx̅. b. What is the approximate probability that the sample has a mean retail price that exceeds $4.05? c. What is the approximate probability that the sample has a mean retail price between $3.91 and $3.94?

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 42 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.7 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 45 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.4 feet. At a = 0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles?

The diameter of a spindle in a small motor is supposed to be 4.4 millimeters (mm) with a standard deviation of 0.11 mm. If the spindle is either too small or too large, the motor will not work properly. The manufacturer measures the diameter in a sample of 15 spindles to determine whether the mean diameter has moved away from the required measurement. Suppose the sample has an average diameter of 4.27 mm. H0: Ha: (b) Harry thinks that prices in Caldwell are lower than the rest of the country. He reads that the nationwide average price of a certain brand of laundry detergent is $20.95 with standard deviation $0.78. He takes a sample from 5 local Caldwell stores and finds the average price for this same brand of detergent is $18.31. H0: Ha:
