The weight of cats is normally distributed. Suppose the average weight of an adult cat is 9 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.5 pounds. Approximately what percentage of cats weight between 7.5 and 10.5 pounds? Enter a number between 0 and 100. Do not include the "%" sign.

'Weights of female cats of & certain breed are normally distributed with mean 4.1 kg and standard deviation of 0.6kg What proportion of female cats have weights between 3.7 and 4.4 kg? How heavy is a female cat whose weight is on the 80m percentile?'

A study was conducted to determine the mean birth weight of a certain breed of kittens. Consider the birth weights of kittens to be normally distributed. A sample of 45 kittens was randomly selected from all kittens of this breed at a large veterinary hospital. The birth weight of each kitten in the sample was recorded. The sample mean was 3.56 ounces, and the sample standard deviation was 0.2 ounces. Set a 90% confidence interval on the mean birth weight of all kittens of this breed. Use the format x.xxx–x.xxx.
