Mean birthweight is studied because low birthweight is an indicator of infant mortality. A study of babies in Norway published in the International Journal of Epidemiology shows that birthweight of full-term babies (37 weeks or more of gestation) are very close to normally distributed with a mean of 3600 g and a standard deviation of 600 g.
Suppose that Melanie is a researcher who wishes to estimate the mean birthweight of full-term babies in her hospital. What is the minimum number of babies should she sample if she wishes to be at least 90% confident that the mean birthweight of the sample is within 200 grams of the the mean birthweight of all babies? Assume that the distribution of birthweights at her hospital is normal with a standard deviation of 600 g

Parts a) and c) are correct, please answer b) and d) (the answers selected may or may not be correct).Suppose that we want to test the hypothesis that mothers with low socioeconomic status (SES) deliver babies whose birthweights are different than "normal". To test this hypothesis, a list of birthweights from 92 consecutive, full-term, live-born deliveries from the maternity ward of a hospital in a low-SES area is obtained. The mean birghweight is found to be 116 oz with a...
Suppose that we want to test the hypothesis that mothers with
low socioeconomic status (SES) deliver babies whose birthweights
are different than "normal". To test this hypothesis, a list of
birthweights from 87 consecutive, full-term, live-born deliveries
from the maternity ward of a hospital in a low-SES area is
obtained. The mean birghweight is found to be 115 oz with a sample
standard deviation of 25 oz. Suppose that we know from nationwide
surveys based on millions of deliveries that...
A scientist has read that the mean birth weight of babies bom at full term is 75 pounds. The scientist, believing that the mean birth weight of babies bornet full term is less than this value, plans to perform a statistical test. She selects a random sample of 125 bath weights of babies bom at full term. Suppose that the population of birth weights of babies bom at full term has a standard deviation of 16 pounds and that the...
Background: Between the years of 1997 and 2003, the World Health Organization collected data on head circumference, arm circumference, and other body measurements for 8440 children from Brazil, Ghana, India, Norway, Oman and the USA. All of the children were healthy and breastfed by mothers who did not smoke. Children in the sample lived in socioeconomic conditions favorable to normal physical growth. Variables such as parental education level and income level were used to exclude children whose growth was “environmentally...
