Question

Based on sample​ data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3295.2 g and a standard deviation of 837.8 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3082.9 g and a standard deviation of 585.9 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?

Answer 1

= 3295.2 g

= 837.8 g

= 1500 g

Z = -2.14

= 3082.9 g

= 585.9 g

= 1500 g

Z = -2.7

As Z score for female more extreme ( far from center ), hence Female has more extreme weight
