Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 3000 grams and a standard deviation of 700 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3400 grams and a standard deviation of 560 grams. If a 35-week gestation period baby weighs 2600 grams and a 41-week gestation period baby weighs 3000 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs less relative to the gestation period? Find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively less? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) O A. The baby born in week 41 weighs relatively less since its z-score, is larger than the z-score of for the baby born in week 35. O B. The baby born in week 41 weighs relatively less since its z-score, is smaller than the z-score of for the baby born in week 35. O C. The baby born in week 35 weighs relatively less since its z-score, is smaller than the z-score of for the baby born in week 41. D. The baby born in week 35 weighs relatively less since its z-score, is larger than the z-score of for the baby born in week 41.

![Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 3000 grams and a standard
deviation of 700 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3400 grams and a
standard deviation of 560 grams. If a 35-week gestation period baby weighs 2600 grams and a 41-week gestation period
baby weighs 3000 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs less relative to the gestation period?
