Western lowland gorillas, whose main habitat is the central African continent, have a mean weight of 275 pounds with a standard deviation of 40 pounds. Capuchin monkeys, whose main habitat is Brazil and a few other parts of Latin America, have a mean weight of 6 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.1 pounds. Both weight distributions are approximately Normally distributed. If a particular western lowland gorilla is known to weigh 345 pounds, approximately how much would a capuchin monkey have to weigh, in pounds, to have the same standardized weight as the lowland gorilla?
(a) 4.08 (c) 7.93
(b) 7.27 (d) 8.20
