Use z scores to compare the given values. based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3227.9 g and a standard deviation of 659.9 g. newborn females have weights with a mean of 3073.1 g and a standard deviation of 806.8 g. who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1500 g or a female who weighs 1500 g?

The weight that is more extreme is the male which is -2.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Now use the z scores formula:

Where μ is mean and σ is the standard deviation.

For newborn males have weights with a mean of 3227.9 g and a standard deviation of 659.9 g.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

For Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3073.1 g and a standard deviation of 806.8 g.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

So, the more extreme of these is the male which is -2.62
