Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of grams and a standard deviation of grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of grams and a standard deviation of grams. If a -week gestation period baby weighs grams and a -week gestation period baby weighs grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs relative to the gestation period?

Complete question :

Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2800 grams and a standard deviation of 900 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3100 grams and a standard deviation of 410 grams. If a 32 -week gestation period baby weighs 3300 grams and a 40 -week gestation period baby weighs 3600 grams, find the correspondingz-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation period? Find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively more?

32 - 35 weeks = 0.56

40 weeks : 1.22

40 weeks babies weigh more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

32 - 35 weeks babies :

Mean (m) = 2800

Standard deviation (s) = 900

Weight (x) = 3300

40 weeks babies :

Mean (m) = 3100

Standard deviation (s) = 410

Weight (x) = 3600

Obtain the standardized score for both categories :

Zscore = (x - m) / s

32 - 35 weeks :

Zscore = (3300 - 2800) / 900

Zscore = 0.555555 = 0.56

40 weeks :

Zscore = (3600 - 3100) / 410

Zscore = 1.2195121 = 1.22

Zscore for 40 weeks is higher than 32-35 weeks.

Hence, 40 weeks babies weigh more.

the transverse axis of a hyperbola is the line that contains the two vertices and the two focuses.

in this example (hyperbola of equation x^2/2 - y^2/4 = 1), the transverse axis is the  x-axis  .
