Snow fell for 9 hours at a rate of 12 inch per hour. Before the snowstorm began, there were already 8 inches of snow on the ground. The equation y=12x+8 models the depth y of snow on the ground after x hours. Explain what the slope and y-intercept mean in this snowstorm model.

Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 25002500 grams and a standard deviation of 800800 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 27002700 grams and a standard deviation of 385385 grams. if a 3232-week gestation period baby weighs 21252125 grams and a 4040-week gestation period baby weighs 23252325 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. which baby weighs lessless relative to the gestation period?
