Home Work/Due Mon. 11.6, paper • Suppose we want to test the hypothesis that mothers with low socioeconomic status (SES) deliver babies whose birthweights are lower than “normal.” To test this hypothesis, a list is obtained of birthweights from 100 consecutive, full-term, live-born deliveries from the maternity ward of a hospital in a low-SES area. The mean birthweight (x) is found to be 115 oz with a sample standard deviation (s) of 24 oz. Suppose we know from nationwide surveys based on millions of deliveries that the mean birthweight in the United States is 120 oz. • Can we actually say the underlying mean birthweight from this hospital is lower than the national average? • Suppose the mean birthweight was 119 oz, based on a sample of size 10,000. Assess the results of the study. • Suppose the mean birthweight was 110 oz, based on a sample size of 10. Assess the results of the study.
