1. Opening Paragraph - begin by writing an opening paragraph where you summarize the statistical concepts you have learned this week and describe how you plan to integrate those concepts into this task.

2. The distributions of birth weights for three gestation periods are shown. Match the curves with the gestation periods from the table on the previous page.

3. What percent of the babies born within each gestation period have a low birth weight (under 5.5 pounds)?

a. Under 28 weeks
b. 32 to 35 weeks
c. 37 to 39 weeks
d. 42 weeks and over

Overall, what statement could you make regarding low birth weight and gestation period? Justify your answer.

4. Find what weight corresponds to the top 10% of babies born with each gestation period.

a. 32 to 35 weeks
b. 37 to 39 weeks
c. 42 weeks and over

Overall, does the top 10% of birth weights depend on gestation period? Justify your answer.

5. For each gestation period, what is the probability that a baby will weigh between 6 and 9 pounds

a. 32 to 35 weeks
b. 37 to 39 weeks
c. 42 weeks and over

6. A birth weight of less than 3.3 pounds is classified by the NCHS as a "very low birth weight." What is the probability that a baby has a very low birth weight for each gestation period?

a. Under 28 weeks
b. 32 to 35 weeks
c. 37 to 39 weeks

7. Investigate the percent of babies born below your birth weight by specific term. (If you do not know this information, make a guess of your birth weight and term.)

8. Metacognition - thinking about thinking and learning. Please write a short paragraph (two to five sentences) explaining how you will utilize the learning and thinking processes developed this week in future assignments. In your reflection, not only address what worked, but what did not work and why. How will you modify and hone your approach for next week?
