Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2700 grams and a standard deviation of 800 grams while babies born after a gestations period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 2900 grams and a standard deviation of 385 grams, If a 32-week gestation period 2450 grars and a 41 week gestation period baby weights 2650 grams, find the corresponding z-scores Which baby weighs less relative to the gestations period? The 32 week gestations period weighs standard deviations above or below the mean. The 41 week gestations period weighs deviations above or below the mean (Round to two decimals places as needed) Which baby weighs relatively less? a. The baby born in week 41 does since its z-score is larger. b. The baby bom in week 32 does since ts z score is smaller.c. The baby bom in week 32 does since its z-score is larger.d. The baby born in week 41 does since its z-score is smaller I f a 32-week gestation period baby weighs Expert Answer Get this answer with Chegg Study VIEW THIS ANSWER 8 9

Explanation / Answer

Z for 32 week gestation period baby = (2450-2700)/800 = -250/800 = -25/80 = -0.3125

Z for 41 week gestation period baby = (2650-2900)/385 = -0.649

Second baby (41-week) weights less relative to the gestation period because it has lower Z score.

The 32 week gestation period weighs 0.31 standard deviations below or above the mean.

The 41 week gestation period weighs 0.65 standard deviations below or above the mean.
