1. New parents were just told by their physician that their son is two standard deviations
above the mean. The parents later asked the nurse what that means. The nurse will
explain by stating,
A) “If your child is one standard deviation from the norm that translates to mean, he
will be taller than 50% of his peers.”
B) “This is great news since it means you will have a larger baby than most.”
C) “Being two standard deviations above the mean translates into that your child will
likely be taller than 95% of children in the population.”
D) “With the mean being average at 50%, two standard deviations means that your
child will be at least 99.7% taller than his brother.”
Ans: C
Feedback:
The standard deviation determines how far a value varies or deviates from the mean.
The points one standard deviation above or below the mean should include 68% of all
values and two standard deviations 95% of all values. If a child's height is within one
standard deviation of the mean, he is as tall as 68% of children in the population.
2. A woman has recently determined that she is pregnant, and her clinician believes that
the conception occurred around 8 weeks prior. Since the embryo is in the third stage of
embryonic development, which of the following events and processes in growth and
development would be expected to be taking place?
A) Transition from a morula to a blastocyst
B) Ossification of the skeleton and acceleration of body length growth
C) Rapid eye movement and early support of respiration
D) Formation of upper limbs and opening of the eyes
Ans: D
Feedback:
Limb formation and eye opening are associated with the third stage of the embryonic
stage of development. The transition from a morula to a blastocyst occurs before the
second week of gestation, while ossification of the skeleton and acceleration of body
length growth do not take place until the early fetal period. Rapid eye movement and
early pulmonary function emerge during the 26th through 29th weeks.
