Question:
10. According to the article "Are Babies Normal?" by Traci Clemons and Marcello Pagano published in The American Statistician, Vol. 53, No. 4, pp. 298-302, the birth weights of babies are normally distributed with a mean of 3398 grams and a standard deviation of 575 grams.
- What is the probability that a randomly selected baby weighs between 3100 grams and 3500 grams? Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
- What is the probability that the average weight of 30 randomly selected babies is between 3100 grams and 3500 grams? Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
- Why did the probability increase?
- The probability increased since the sample size increased and the sample means are more concentrated near the mean of 3398.
- The probability increased since the sample size increased and the distribution of sample means is more spread out.

- Determine the proportion of herons which have wingspans between 108 and 137 cm. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
- Determine the proportion of herons which have wingspans greater than 140 cm. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
- The smallest 15 percent of herons have wingspans of _____ cm or less. Round your answer to 1 decimal place
