--------
z(31) = (31-32)/2 = -1/2
z(35) = (35-32)/2 = 3/2

Can't show you the bell-shaped graph on this site.

Hi,
sketch the graph of the weight distribution on a bell curve with weights of 31 and 35 indicated on the graph.
31 oz: z = (31-32)/2 = -.5 (indicated by green line)
35 oz: z = (35-32) /2 = 1.5 (indicated by blue line)
