The distribution of weights for 12-month-old baby boys in the US is approximately normal with mean u = 22.5 pounds and standard deviation o = 2.2 pounds. a) If a 12-month-old boy weighs 20.3 pounds, approximately what weight percentile is he in? b) If a 12-month-old boy is in the 84th percentile in weight, estimate his weight. c) Estimate the weight of a 12-month-old boy who is in the 25th percentile by weight. d) Estimate the weight of a 12-month-old boy who is in the 75th percentile by weight.
In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.The artifact frequency for an excavation of a kiva in Bandelier National Monument gave the following information.
