a) We see from the graph that is between 7 and 7.5 , the only period of gestation having a mean between 7 and 7.5 is: 37 to 39 weeks (is 7.33)

Answer: 37 to 39 weeks

b) We see from the graph that is between 7.5 and 8 , and the distance between and 7 seems to be 2 times the distance between  and 8so  is approx 7 2/3=
7.667 so we select the gestation period: 42 weeks and over (having a mean of 7.65)

Answer: 42 weeks and over

c) We see from the graph that is a little greater than 4 , the only period gestation having that mean is 28 to 31 weeks (it has a mean of 4.07)

Answer: 28 to 31 weeks

2)

a) X= weight of birth (period: 28 weeks), =1.88 =1.19
