Answer:
The z-score for the 34-week gestation period baby is 0.61
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,
where x is the raw score,
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation.
We are told in the question that:
Babies born after a gestation period of 32-35 weeks have a mean weight of 2600 grams and a standard deviation of 660 grams. Also, we are supposing a 34-week gestation period baby weighs 3000grams
The z-score for the 34-week gestation period baby is calculated as:
z = (x-μ)/σ
x = 3000, μ = 2600 σ = 660
z = 3000 - 2600/660
= 400/660
=0.6060606061
Approximately, ≈ 0.61
