Exercise 28 “Births”

Use the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low or significantly high.

Data From Exercise 28:

Use the birth weights (grams) of the 400 babies listed in Data Set 4 “Births” in Appendix B. Examine the list of birth weights to make an observation about those numbers. How does that observation affect the way that the results should be rounded?

Data Set 4: Births 

Data are from 400 births (first five rows shown here). For GENDER 1 = male and 0 = female. LENGTH OF STAY is in days, BIRTH WEIGHT is in grams, and TOTAL CHARGES are in dollars.
