Question 1081873: Newborn elephant calves usually weigh between 200 and 250 pounds. Until October 2006, when an Asian elephant at the Houston Zoo gave birth to a male calf in at 384 pounds. Mack is believed to be the heaviest elephant calf ever born.
If, indeed the mean weight for newborn elephant calves is 220 pounds with a standard deviation of 43 pounds, what is the probability of a newborn weighing at least 384 pounds. Assume the weights of newborn elephants are normally distributed.
