    STATISTICS-probability normal distribution
    One of the first signs of hypothyroidism in newborn babies is high birth weight. Suppose that at a given hospital the average newborn birth weight for females is 121 ounces with a standard deviation of 9 ounces. A doctor knows that infants with hypothyroidism are always above the 90th percentile in birth weight. At what birth weight would the doctor become concerned about the possibility of a female baby having hypothyroidism?

    You are going to have to attempt this and tell us what you came up with... we will help you learn how to do it... but we won't do it all for you. That's how it works around here.
