7. 7Let us consider the distribution of birth weights of all babies born at HUH to be a random variable; it follows a normal probability distribution with a mean (μ) equal to 2,900 grams and a variance (σ2) equal to 250,000 grams2. What is the probability that an infant in this population will have a birth weight greater than 2,100 grams?
