A random sample of 848 births included 428 boys. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that 51.1% of newborn babies are boys. Do the results support the belief that 51.1% of newborn babies are boys? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below A. $H_0: p = 0.511$ $H_1: p > 0.511$ B. $H_0: p = 0.511$ $H_1: p \neq 0.511$ C. $H_0: p = 0.511$ $H_1: p \neq 0.511$ D. $H_0: p = 0.511$ $H_1: p < 0.511$

At random sample of 071 births included 4J1 boys. Using a 0.01 significance level, the mean of the sample was 51.57. The question is, do the data support the hypothesis that the proportion of newborn babies that are boys is 0.515? Choose the correct answer below. Ho: p = 0.515 Ha: p ≠0.515
Are boys more likely? We hear that newborn babies are more likely to be boys than girls. Is this true? $\mathrm{A}$ random sample of 25,468 firstborn children included 13,173 boys. (a) Do these data give convincing evidence that firstborn children are more likely to be boys than girls? (b) To what population can the results of this study be generalized: all children or all firstborn children? Justify your answer.
