The article measuring the exposure of infants to tobacco


The article "Measuring the Exposure of Infants to Tobacco Smoke" (New England J. of Medicine, 1984: 1075-1078) reports on a study in which various measurements were taken both from a random sample of infants who had been exposed to household smoke and from a sample of unexposed infants. The accompanying data consists of observations on urinary concentration of cotanine, a major metabolite of nicotine (the values constitute a subset of the original data and were read from a plot that appeared in the article). Does the data suggest that true average cotanine level is higher in exposed infants than in unexposed infants by more than 25? Carry out a test at significance level .05.
