Population is birth weight (in grams) for all babies born in Indiana in 2004. It has μ=3,287; σ^2=360,000.
If we sample 100 babies, what are μ_X ̅ and σ_X ̅ ?

Answer #1
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = 
= 3287
standard deviation = 
= 
360000=600
n = 100
sample distribution of sample mean is ,
=
= 3287
sampling distribution of standard deviation
= /
n = 600 /
100=60
= 60

Birth weight, in grams, of newborn babies are normally
distributed with a mean of 3290 grams and a standard deviation of
520 grams. Find the percentage of newborns that weigh between 3000

where the mean weight is 3290 grams and the standard deviation is
520 grams. Find the weight, in grams, that would separate the
smallest 4% of weights of newborns from the rest.
