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]
