Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2600 grams and a standard deviation of 800 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 2800 grams and a standard deviation of 450 grams. If a 34-week gestation period baby weighs 2350 grams and a 40-week gestation period baby weighs 2550 grams find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs less relative to the gestation period? (Choose correct answer round to two decimal places as needed). a) the baby born in week 40 weighs relatively less since it's z-score, ____, is smaller than the z-score of _____ for the baby born in week 34. b) the baby born in week 34 weighs relatively less since its z-score, ______, is larger than the z-score of _____ for the baby born in week 40. c) the baby born in week 34 weighs relatively less since its z-score, _____, is smaller than the z-score of ______ for the baby born in week 40. d) the baby born in week 40 weighs relatively less since its z-score, _____, is larger than the z-score of ______ for the baby born in week 34.
