Transcribed Image Text:**Normal Distribution of Birth Weights**
Suppose the birth weights of full-term babies are normally distributed with a mean of 3250 grams and a standard deviation of 500 grams. Complete parts (a) and (b) below:
**(a) Draw a normal curve with the parameters labeled. Choose the correct graph below:**
Options:
- **A.** Normal curve with the mean at 2250 and 1 standard deviation increments labeled (1750, 2250, 3250)
- **B.** Normal curve with the mean at 3750 and 1 standard deviation increments labeled (3250, 3750, 4250)
- **C.** Normal curve with the mean at 3250 and 1 standard deviation increments labeled (2250, 3250, 4250)
- **D.** Normal curve with the mean at 3250 and 1 standard deviation increments labeled (2750, 3250, 3750) - **Selected**
**Explanation:**
The correct graph for a normal distribution with a mean of 3250 grams and standard deviation of 500 grams will have the center at 3250, and marks at one standard deviation (2750, 3250, 3750).
**(b) Shade the region that represents the proportion of full-term babies who weigh more than 4250 grams. Choose the correct graph below:**
Options:
- **A.** Graph showing shaded area from 2250 to 3250
- **B.** Graph showing shaded area from 2750 to 3250
- **C.** Graph showing shaded area from 3250 to 4250
- **D.** Graph showing shaded area beyond 4250 - **Selected**
**Explanation:**
To show the proportion of babies weighing more than 4250 grams, the graph should show the area shaded to the right of 4250. This represents the tail of the distribution beyond this weight.
