17 In 2019, the lengths of new-born babies at a clinic can be modelled by a normal distribution with mean 50 cm and standard deviation 4 cm . 17
  1. This normal distribution is represented in the diagram below. Label the values 50 and 54 on the horizontal axis. \begin{figure}[h]

  2. State the probability that the length of a new-born baby is less than 50 cm .

  3. Find the probability that the length of a new-born baby is more than 56 cm .

  4. Find the probability that the length of a new-born baby is more than 40 cm but less than 60 cm .
    17
  5. Determine the length exceeded by 95\% of all new-born babies at the clinic.

  6. In 2020, the lengths of 40 new-born babies at the clinic were selected at random.
    The total length of the 40 new-born babies was 2060 cm .
    Carry out a hypothesis test at the \(10 \%\) significance level to investigate whether the mean length of a new-born baby at the clinic in 2020 has increased compared to 2019. You may assume that the length of a new-born baby is still normally distributed with standard deviation 4 cm .
