Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Z-score

Z-score for the value of interest (14 pounds): \(Z = \frac{14 - 12.5}{5.1} = 0.294\)

Step 2: Determine if the value is unusual

The proportion of the distribution above 14 pounds is 0.384, which is not unusual based on the threshold of 0.05.

Final Answer:

The value of 14 pounds is not unusual, with a proportion of 0.384 of the distribution lying above this value.
