Use z scores to compare the given values. Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3224.6 g and a standard deviation of 739.9 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3027.5 g and a standard deviation of 473.6 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1700 g or a female who weighs 1700 g? Since the z score for the male is z = and the z score for the female is z = the V has the weight that is more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)

Answer the question by recalling significantly low or high values based on standard deviation. Focus groups of 11 people are randomly selected to discuss products of the Yummy Company. It is determined that the mean number (per group) who recognize the Yummy brand name is 7.8, and the standard deviation is 0.97. Would it be significantly low to randomly select 11 people and find that fewer than 4 recognize the Yummy brand name?
A study reported on essential organic molecules and a Normal model can be used to describe these levels in adults.

3. Use the following information about the heights measured in feet of a sample of 40 Ponderosa Pine trees and 40 Eastern White Pine trees. Ponderosa Pine Trees: Mean of 77.5 ft with a standard deviation of 11.55 ft Eastern White Pine Trees: Mean of 67.25 ft with a standard deviation of 10.33 ft Is it more unusual for a Ponderosa Pine tree to have a height of 71 ft or an Eastern White Pine tree to have a height of 71 ft relative to the data of each species of tree? Use z-scores to explain your solution.
