If a fawn weighs 14 kilograms, would you say it is an unusually small animal? Explain using z values and the figure above.
Yes. This weight is 3.16 standard deviations below the mean; 14 kg is an unusually low weight for a fawn.
Yes. This weight is 1.58 standard deviations below the mean; 14 kg is an unusually low weight for a fawn.
No. This weight is 3.16 standard deviations below the mean; 14 kg is a normal weight for a fawn.
No. This weight is 3.16 standard deviations above the mean; 14 kg is an unusually high weight for a fawn.
No. This weight is 1.58 standard deviations above the mean; 14 kg is an unusually high weight for a fawn.
(h)
If a fawn is unusually large, would you say that the z value for the weight of the fawn will be close to 0, −2, or 3? Explain.
It would have a z of 0.
It would have a negative z, such as −2.
It would have a large positive z, such as 3.
