Name: CWID(last 4)
1. Let a is a positive real number. Assume that P (Z ≤ a) = .85. Evaluate

a. P (Z > a)

b. P (0 < Z < a)

c. P (−a < Z < a)

2. Assume that birth weight is normally distributed with µ = 7.5(lbs) and σ = 1.5(lbs).
For a given hospital, if a birth weight is in the lowest 20%, the newborn will be kept
for longer observation. Determine the weight the hospital is using for this purpose.
