Birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3419 g and a standard deviation of 494 g. If a hospital plans to set up sp

ecial attention to the lightest 2% of babies, what weight is used for the cut-off separating the lightest 2% from the others?

Let X represent a random variable representing the birth weights of babies, and let x be the required cut-off, then
P(X < x) = 0.02
P(z < (x - 3419)/494) = 0.02
1 - P(z < (3419 - x)/494) = 0.02
P(z < (3419 - x)/494) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98
(3419 - x)/469 = 2.04
3419 - x = 956.76
x = 3419 - 956.76 = 2462.24

Therefore, the weight to be used as cut-off is 2462.24 g

Vesnalui [34]
Consider the figure attached.

Let m(R)=α degrees and m(T)=β degrees.

1.
Angle R, is an inscribed angle, intercepting the arc WTS. 
This means that the measure of the arc WTS is double the measure of the angle R,

so m(arc WTS) = 2α degrees.

2.
Similarly, 

Angle T, is an inscribed angle, intercepting the arc WRS. So 

m(arc WRS) = 2β degrees.

3.
m(arc WTS)+m(arc WRS)=360° since these arcs cover the whole circle.

thus 

2α+2β=360°

divide by 2:

α+β=180°

this means T and R are supplementary angles.
