The correct option is: a female who weighs 1500 g
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
<u>Formula for finding the z-score</u> is:
Newborn males have weights with a mean of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation
of 660.2 g.
So, the z-score for the newborn male who weighs 1500 g will be.......
According to the normal distribution table,
Now, newborn females have weights with a mean of 3037.1 g and a standard deviation
of 706.3 g.
So, the z-score for the newborn female who weighs 1500 g will be.......
According to the normal distribution table,
As we can see that the <u>probability that a newborn female has weight of 1500 g is greater than newborn male</u>, so a newborn female has the weight of 1500 g that is more extreme relative to the group from which he came.
