Answer:
25.15 ponds is the weight of two year old baby corresponds to 10th percentile.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Mean, μ = 29 pounds
Standard Deviation, σ = 3 pounds
We are given that the distribution of weight of two year old babies is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
Formula:
[tex]z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.10
P(X < x)
[tex]P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 29}{3})=0.10[/tex]
Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,
[tex]P(z < -1.282) = 0.10[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\dfrac{x - 29}{3} = -1.282\\x = 25.154 \approx 25.15[/tex]
Thus, 25.15 ponds is the weight of two year old baby corresponds to 10th percentile.
