Based on their records, a hospital claims that the proportion, p, of full-term babies born in the community that weigh more than 7 pounds is 36%. A pediatrician who works with several hospitals in the community would like to verify the hospital's claim. In a random sample of 235 babies born in the community, 69 weighed over 7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim at the 0.10 level of significance? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1. H0: H1: (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (d) Find the p-value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (e) Can we reject the claim that the proportion of full-term babies born in the community that weigh more than 7 pounds is 36%? Yes No

Based on their records, a hospital claims that the proportion, p, of full-term babies born in the community that weigh more than 7 pounds is 35%. A pediatrician who works with several hospitals in the community would like to verify the hospital's claim. In a random sample of 170 babies born in the community, 64 weighed over 7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H1. Ho= ? H1= ? (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. ? (c) Find the value of the test statistic. ? (Round to three or more decimal places.) (d) Find the p-value. ? (Round to three or more decimal places.) (e) Can we reject the claim that the proportion of full-term babies born in the community that weigh more than pounds is ? Yes No
