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 $\sigma = 500\text{ g}$.

according to the empirical rule, 68% of all newborn babies in the united states weigh between dropdown and dropdown.

Question

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 $\sigma = 500\text{ g}$.
