According to a census company,10.1%of all babies born are of
low birth weight. An obstetrician wanted to know whether mothers
between the ages of 35 and 39 years give birth to a higher
percentage of low-birth-weight babies. She randomly selected 240
births for which the mother was 35 to 39 years old and found 28
low-birth-weight babies. Complete parts (a) through (c)

(a) If the proportion of low-birth-weight babies for mothers
in this age group is 0.101, compute the...

In an experiment, 18 babies were asked to watch a climber
attempt to ascend a hill. On two occasions, the baby witnesses the
climber fail to make the climb. Then, the baby witnesses either a
helper toy push the climber up the hill, or a hinderer toy
preventing the climber from making the ascent. The toys were shown
to each baby in a random fashion. A second part of this experiment
showed the climber approach the helper toy, which is...
