Question

Use z scores to compare the given values.

Answer 1

Answer:

Female

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding z-score is;

z=(x-μ)/δ

where x= weight given=1600g

μ=mean weight given

δ=standard deviation given

For male

x=1600g

μ=3232.9g

δ=714.6g

z=(1600-3232.9)/714.6

z= -2.3

The weight for the male is 2.3 standard deviations below the mean

For female

x=1600g

μ=3094.9g

δ=586.3g

z=(1600-3094.9)/586.3

z= -2.5

The weight for the female is 2.5 standard deviations below the mean

⇒The female has the weight that is more extreme
