Answer: the probability that the weight will be less than 4866 grams is 0.9861

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = weights of newborn baby boys.

µ = mean weight

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 3571 grams

σ = 589 grams

The probability that the weight will be less than 4866 grams is expressed as

P(x < 4866)

For x = 4866,

z = (4866 - 3571)/589 = 2.2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.9861
