Question 1163001: The weights of newborns are normally distributed with a mean 7 lbs and standard deviation 2.2 lbs
Using the empirical rule determine the probability that the weight of a newborn chosen at random is less than 4.8 lbs?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Fewer than 4.8 pounds is less than 1 sd from the mean.
There is 50% on the left side of the curve, and subtracting 34% that is on the left side within 1 sd leaves 16% probability.
