"using the descriptive statistics for the weight of the babies in ounces, suppose a friend of yours has given birth to a 10 pound 3 ounce baby"
Need data. What is the mean and Standard deviation for weight of newborns?
To answer this question, we need to convert the weight of the baby from pounds and ounces to ounces.
1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, so we can multiply the weight in pounds by 16 to convert it to ounces.
Let's calculate the weight of the baby in ounces:
10 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 160 ounces
Now, we need to add the additional weight in ounces:
160 ounces + 3 ounces = 163 ounces
Therefore, your friend has given birth to a baby weighing 163 ounces.
