birth weights in norway are normally distributed with a mean of 3570 g and a standard deviation of 500g. if the hospital officials plan to require special treatment for the lightest 3% of newborn babies, what birth weight seperates those requiring special treatment from those who do not

2630 g

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Given that:

mean (μ) = 3750 g

Standard deviation (σ) = 500

Suppose the hospital officials demand special treatment with a percentage of  lightest 3% (0.03) for newborn babies;

Then, the weight of birth that differentiates the babies that needed special treatment from those that do not can be computed as follows;

P(Z < z₁) = 0.03

Using the Excel Formula; =NORMSINV(0.03) = -1.88

z₁ = - 1.88

Using the test statistics z₁ formula:

By cross multiply, we have:

-1.88 × 500 = X - 3570

-940 = X - 3570

-X = -3570 + 940

-X = -2630

X = 2630 g

Hence, 2630 g is the required weight of birth   that differentiates the babies that needed special treatment from those that do not

x/3-10=8

x/3=18

x=48

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
