A woman's prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) is used to determine how much weight she should gain by the end of her pregnancy. Using each woman's BMI when she became pregnant, determine the appropriate amount of weight that she should gain by the end of her pregnancy. Assume she is carrying a single fetus. Underweight at conception Gain 28-40 pounds Gain 25-35 pounds Gain 15-25 pounds Gain 11-20 pounds Healthy weight at conception Obese at conception Overweight at conception

One of the variables collected in the North Carolina Birth Registry data is pounds gained during pregnancy. According to data from the entire registry for 2001, the number of pounds gained during pregnancy was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 30.23 pounds and a standard deviation of 13.84 pounds. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected mother in North Carolina in 2001 gained: (a) Less than 15 pounds during pregnancy, Select one: a. 0.1359 b. 0.1357 c. None of the choices d. 0.1367
