Use z scores to compare the given values. Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3285.3 g and a standard deviation of 713.9 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3071.5 g and a standard deviation of 838.2 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1500 g or a female who weighs 1500 g? Since the z score for the male is z = and the z score for the female is z=. the V has the weight that is more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)

Use z scores to compare the given values.
Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3285.3 g and a standard deviation of 713.9 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3071.5 g and a standard deviation of 838.2 g. Who has the
weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1500 g or
female who weighs 1500 g?
Since the z score for the male is z= and the z score for the female is z=
the
V has the weight that is more extreme.
(Round to two decimal places.)
