Suppose we know from nationwide surveys based on millions


Obstetrics Suppose we want to test the hypothesis that mothers with low socioeconomic status (SES) deliver babies whose birthweights are lower than "normal." To test this hypothesis, a list is obtained of birthweights from 100 consecutive, fullterm, live-born deliveries from the maternity ward of a hospital in a low-SES area. The mean birthweight (x) is found to be 115 oz with a sample standard deviation (s) of 24 oz. Suppose we know from nationwide surveys based on millions of deliveries that the mean birthweight in the United States is 120 oz. Can we actually say the underlying mean birthweight from this hospital is lower than the national average?
