32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2500 grams and a standard deviation of 800 grams while babies born after a gestation period

of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 2800 grams and a standard deviation of 370 grams. If a 32-week gestation period baby weighs 2375 grams and a 41-week gestation period baby weighs 2675 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs less relative to the gestation period?
Find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively less? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
A.
The baby born in week 32 weighs relatively less since its z-score, nothing, is smaller than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 41.
B.
The baby born in week 41 weighs relatively less since its z-score, nothing, is smaller than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 32.
C.
The baby born in week 41 weighs relatively less since its z-score, nothing, is larger than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 32.
D.
The baby born in week 32 weighs relatively less since its z-score, nothing, is larger than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 41.
