The ponderal index is a measure of overall size similar to a body mass index. The ponderal index of full term newborns follows a normal distribution with a mean of 2.4 kg/m3 and a standard deviation of 0.45 kg/m³. What percentage of full term newborns have a ponderal index greater than 2.5 kg/m3? Use Table 3 to obtain your answer. If necessary, round your final answer to 2 places after the decimal. Do not enter the % symbol, just the number representing the percent.
