Consider a large population of families in which each family has exactly three children. If the genders of the three children in any family are independent of one another, the number of male children in a randomly selected family will have a binomial distribution based on three trials.

a. Suppose a random sample of 160 families yields the following results. Test the relevant hypotheses by proceeding as in Example 14.5.

Number of Male Children 0 1 23 Frequency 14 66 64 16

b. Suppose a random sample of families in a nonhuman population resulted in observed frequencies of 15, 20, 12, and 3, respectively. Would the chi-squared test be based on the same number of degrees of freedom as the test in part (a)? Explain.
