Birth weights of cocaine babies. A group of researchers at the University of Texas-Houston conducted a comprehensive study of pregnant cocaine-dependent women ( Journal of Drug Issues , Summer 1997). All the women in the study used cocaine on a regular basis (at least three times a week) for more than a year. One of the many variables measured was birth weight (in grams) of the baby delivered. For a sample of 16 cocaine-dependent women, the mean birth weight was 2,971 grams and the standard deviation was 410 grams. Test (at α =.01 ) to determine whether the variance in birth weights of babies delivered by cocaine-dependent women is less than 200,000 grams2.
