A study suggests that the birth weight of a full-term baby is distributedas a Normal random variable with mean 3,500 grams and standarddeviation 600 grams.(a) What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly se-lected full-term baby exceeds 4,000 gr.?(b) What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly se-lected full-term baby is between 3,000 gr. and 4,000 gr.?(c) What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly se-lected full-term baby is either less than 2,000 gr. or greater than5,000 gr.?

Let X denote the birth weight of full-term baby. Given that X follows Normal(mean = 3500, SD = 600),…
