Boston City Hospital birthweight data (BCHBIRTH.csv) which contains the birthweight in ounces of 1000 babies born at Boston City Hospital (variable identifier: birthweight). The birthweight is normally distributed. Use the normfit function to determine the mean and the standard deviation of this population of babies.

Determine the probability that the mean birthweight from a sample of 10 infants from Boston City Hospital will fall between 98 and 126 ounces.

Using the function norminv calculate the range of values that contains the birthweight of 80% of the babies.

Compare the probability that a baby will have a birthweight less than the mean (as determined using the normcdf function) with the actual number of birthweights in the dataset that are less than the mean. Hint: you will need to use the find function for the latter.

What is the matlab script to answer these questions with a possible dataset "BCHBIRTH.csv"? mean of dataset is 112.7589 and SD is 20.570619
