Consider babies born in the "normal" range of 37–43 weeks gestational age. A paper suggests that a normal distribution with mean μ = 3500 grams and standard deviation σ = 785 grams is a reasonable model for the probability distribution of the continuous numerical variable x = birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby.

a. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby exceeds 4000 grams? Is between 3000 and 4000 grams?
b. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby is either less than 2000 grams or greater than 5000 grams?
c. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby exceeds 7 pounds? (Hint: 1 pound 453.59 grams)
d. How would you characterize the most extreme 0.1% of all full-term baby birth weights?
e. If x is a variable with a normal distribution and a is a numerical constant (a O), then y ax also has a normal distribution. Use this formula to determine the distribution of full-term baby birth weight expressed in pounds (shape, mean, and standard deviation), and then recalculate the probability from Part (c). How does this compare to your previous answer?

Students at a high school were asked about their favorite outdoor activity. the results are shown in the two-way frequency table below. fishing camping canoeing skiing total boys 36 44 13 25 118 girls 34 37 22 20 113 total 70 81 35 45 231 select all the statements that are true based on the given table. more girls chose camping as their favorite outdoor activity than boys. more girls chose canoeing as their favorite outdoor activity than those who chose skiing. more boys chose skiing as their favorite outdoor activity than girls. there were more boys surveyed than girls. twice as many students chose canoeing as their favorite outdoor activity than those who chose fishing. more students chose camping as their favorite outdoor activity than the combined number of students who chose canoeing or skiing.

In a study of the relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior, 129 university of california undergraduates at berkeley were asked to identify themselves as having low or high social-class by comparing themselves to others with the most (least) money, most (least) education, and most (least) respected jobs. they were also presented with a jar of individually wrapped candies and informed that the candies were for children in a nearby laboratory, but that they could take some if they wanted. after completing some unrelated tasks, participants reported the number of candies they had taken. it was found that those who were identiď¬ed as upper-class took more candy than others. in this study, identify: (a) the cases, (b) the variables and their types, (c) the main research question, (d) identify the population of interest and the sample in this study, and (e) comment on whether or not the results of the study can be generalized to the population, and if the ď¬ndings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships.
