Discuss the below problems:

Q Infant deaths in King Country, Washington were grouped by season of the year. The number of deaths by season, for selected causes of death, are listed in Table below:

Table Death Data for Problem

                                         Season
                                     Winter  Spring  Summer  Autumn
Asphyxia                              50      48       46        34
Immaturity                            30      40       36        35
Congenital malformations         95       93       88        83

Sudden infant death syndrome   78      71       87        86

(a) At the 5% significance level, test the hypothesis that SIDS deaths are uniformly (p = ¼) spread among the seasons.

(b) At the 10% significance level, test the hypothesis that the deaths due to infection are uniformly spread among the seasons.

(c) What can you say about the p-value for testing that asphyxia deaths are spread uniformly among seasons? Immaturity deaths?
