study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 615 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3442 grams with a standard deviation of 830 grams. Assume that birth weight data are approximately bell-shaped. Estimate the number of newborns who weighed between 1782 grams and 5102 grams. Round to the nearest whole number. The number of newborns who weighed between 1782 grams and 5102 grams?

Birth Weights In $2003,$ babies born after a gestation periTod of 32 to 35 weeks had a mean weight of 2600 grams and a standard deviation of 670 grams. In the same year, babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks had a mean weight of 3500 grams and a standard deviation of 475 grams. Suppose a 34 -week gestation period baby weighs 2400 grams and a 40 -week gestation period baby weighs 3300 grams. Which baby weighs less relative to the gestation period?
