- 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 has the weight that is more extreme.
