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.

The mean weight gain for women during a full-term pregnancy is $30.2$ pounds. The standard deviation of weight gain for this group is $9.9$ pounds, and the shape of the distribution of weight gains is symmetric and unimodal. (Source: BMJ 2016; 352 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.i555) a. State the weight gain for women one standard deviation below the mean and for one standard deviation above the mean. b. Is a weight gain of 35 pounds more or less than one standard deviation from the mean?
