- Use z scores to compare the given values. Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with mean of 3204.8 g and a standard deviation of 770.8 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3066.5 g and a standard deviation of 585.9 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1600 g or a female who weighs 1600 g? Since the z score for the male is z= and the z score for the female is z= the V has the weight that is more extreme.

If a 32-week gestation period baby weighs 2650 grams and a 41-week gestation period baby weighs 3150 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation period? Find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively more? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) A. The baby born in week 41 weighs relatively more since its z-score, nothing, is smaller than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 32. B.
