Question 1052626: Birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3421g and a standard deviation of 494 g. If a hospital plans to set up special observation conditions for the lightest 2%
of babies, what weight is used for thecut-off separating the lightest 2%
from the others?

mean of 3421g and a standard deviation of 494 g
z = invNorm(.02) = -2.054
-2.054(494g) + 3421 = 2406.32 Always round to the higher whole number
0r 2407g, the cut-off weight that separates the lightest 2% of babies from the others
