Question

Consider the following data on living area of mothers and birth weights (kg) of their children which were randomly taken from the records of a given health center. Rural area: 2.90, 3.28, 2.38, 3.06, 2.60, 2.80 and Urban area: 3.19, 3.20, 3.24, 3.16, 2.92, 3.68, 3.40, 3.31, 2.51, 2.80 Test the hypothesis that babies born to mothers coming from rural areas have equal birth weights (Assume that the distribution is not skewed and take the level of significance as 5%)
