A study was conducted to determine whether an expectant mother's cigarette smoking has any effect on the bone mineral content of her otherwise healthy child. A sample of 77 newborns whose mothers smoked during pregnancy has mean bone mineral content x-bar1 = 0.098 g/cm and standard deviation s1 = 0.026 g/cm; a sample of 161 infants whose mothers did not smoke has mean x-bar2 = 0.095 g/cm and standard deviation s2 = 0.025 g/cm. Assume that the underlying population variances are equal. a. Are the two samples paired or independent? b. State the null and alternative hypotheses of the two-sided test. c. Conduct the test at the 0.05 level of significance. What do you conclude?
a) two samples are independent cause subject in both samples are different
b)
null hypothesis: | ![]() ![]() |
= | 0 | ||
Alternate Hypothesis: | ![]() ![]() |
? | 0 |
c)
for 236 df and 0.05 level ; crtiical value t= -/+ 1.97
as test statistic is not in crtiical value we can not reject null hypothesis
we do not have evidence that mother's cigarette smoking has any effect on the bone mineral content of her otherwise healthy child.

A study was conducted to determine if an expectant mother’s cigarette smoking has an effect on the bone mineral content of her otherwise healthy baby A sample of 77 newborns whose mothers smoked have a mean bone mineral content of Xbar smokers = 0.099 gm/cm with a standard deviation of 0.026 gm/cm. A sample of 161 newborns whose mothers did not smoke have a mean bone mineral content of Xbar nonsmokers = 0.091 gm/cm with a standard deviation of 0.025...
Question 8 Child Health and Development Studies (CHDS) has been collecting data about Select expectant mothers in Oakland, CA since 1959. One of the measurements taken to points by CHDS is the age of first time expectant mothers. Suppose that CHDS finds the average age for a first time mother is 26 years old. Suppose also that, in 2015, a random sample of 50 expectant mothers have mean age of 26.5 years old, with a standard deviation of 1.9 years....
Child Health and Development Studies (CHDS) has been collecting data about expectant mothers in Oakland, CA since 1959. One of the measurements taken by CHDS is the weight increase (in pounds) for expectant mothers in the second trimester. In a fictitious study, suppose that CHDS finds the average weight increase in the second trimester is 14 pounds. Suppose also that, in 2015, a random sample of 41 expectant mothers have mean weight increase of 15.4 pounds in the second trimester,...
