Answer:
You would expect 807 babies to weigh between 3 and 6 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Mean,[tex]\mu=5.4[/tex]pounds
Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma=1.8[/tex]pounds
n=1500
We have to find how many would you expect to weigh between 3 and 6 pounds.
The weights for newborn babies is approximately normally distributed.
Now,
[tex]P(3<x<6)=P(\frac{3-5.4}{1.8}<\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{6-5.4}{1.8})[/tex]
[tex]=P(-1.33<Z<0.33)[/tex]
[tex]P(3<x<6)=P(Z<0.33)-P(Z<-1.33)[/tex]
[tex]P(3<x<6)=0.62930-0.09176[/tex]
[tex]P(3<x<6)=0.538[/tex]
Number of newborn babies expect to weigh between 3 and 6 pounds
=[tex]1500\times 0.538=807[/tex]
