  • ASSIGNED PROBLEM 2: Let's assume that the Low_Birth_Weight.xls file is a random sample from the UFred Hospital in 2015. The mean birth weight is approximately 6.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.6 pounds. The national standard is that a birth weight below 5.5 pounds is considered to be low. Using the NORMAL_PROBABILITY.xls file, compute the following:
    • A. What is the probability of a low birth weight (< 5.5 pounds) occurring at UFred?
    • B. What is the probability of a birth weight being above the national average of 7.5 pounds?
    • C. What is the probability of a birth weight being between 5 and 6 pounds?
