a newborn who weighs 2,500 g or less has a low birth weight. use the information on the right to find the z-score of a 2,500 g baby.

in the united states, birth weights of newborn babies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of $\mu = 3,500\text{ g}$ and a standard deviation of $\sigma = 500\text{ g}$.

\z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}\
