A hospital claims that the proportion, p, of full-term babies
born in their hospital that weigh more than 7 pounds is 48%. In a
random sample of 205 babies born in this hospital, 112 weighed over
7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim
at the 0.01 level of significance? Perform a two-tailed test. Then
fill in the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at

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)
