Suppose the weight of new born baby is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 4.70 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.40 pounds in Cambodia. Assume that a sample of 25 new born babies is selected:   What is the probability that the sample mean will be at least 4.60 pounds?     Between what two values symmetrically distributed around the population mean will 70% of the sample mean fall?
