Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weekshave a mean weight of 2800 grams and a standard deviation of 700grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have amean weight of 3000 grams and a standard deviation of 485 grams. Ifa 33?-week gestation period baby weighs 2575 grams and a 41?-weekgestation period baby weighs 2775 ?grams, find the corresponding?z-scores. Which baby weighs less relative to the gestation?period?
The baby born in week __ weighs relatively less since it'sz-score, __, is larger/smaller than the z- score of __ for the babyworn in week __.
