d) Suppose this is a representative sample of births in a given year at Johns Hopkins. Suppose,
instead of a sample of seven values, we have a sample of 100 birth weights. How should the mean,
median, and standard deviation of this sample compare to the same statistics for the sample of
seven birth weights?
