3: One and Two Sample Methods (75 points) For this project, we will use a subset of the North Carolina birth data set. The data set ncbirth200.sav is a random sample of 200 births from the data set ncbirth1450.sav. When doing this assignment, make sure you are working with the data set with only 200 observations! Please upload your assignment in an Excel document with one tab per question. Variable Label plurality sex mage weeks marital racemom hispmom prewght pst6wght smoke drink tounces tgrams low premie Description Number of children born of the pregnancy (1=1 child, 2=twins, 3=triplets) Sex of child (1=Male, 2=Female) Age of mother (years) Completed Weeks of Gestation (weeks) Marital status (1=married, 2=not married) Race of Mother (0=Other Non-white, 1=White, 2=Black 3=American Indian, 4=Chinese, 5=Japanese, 6=Hawaiian, 7=Filipino, 8=Other Asian or Pacific Islander) Mother of Hispanic origin (C=Cuban, M=Mexican, N=Non-Hispanic, O=Other and Unknown Hispanic, P=Puerto Rican, S=Central/South American, U=Not Classifiable) Mother's reported weight prior to pregnancy (pounds) Mother's reported weight 6 months after giving birth 0=mother did not smoke during pregnancy 1=mother did smoke during pregnancy 0=mother did not consume alcohol during pregnancy 1=mother did consume alcohol during pregnancy Weight of child (ounces) Weight of child (grams) 0=infant was not low birth weight 1=infant was low birth weight 0=infant was not premature 1=infant was premature defined at 36 weeks or sooner 1. Create a 95% confidence interval for the variable weeks. You must give both the upper and lower limits. (10 points) a. According to the American Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the ideal length of a pregnancy is 39 weeks. Did the women in the sample differ from this value? Use the 95% confidence interval to answer this question. (5 points) 2. Create a 95% confidence interval for the variable low. You must give both the upper and lower limits. (10 points) a. Nationally, the incidence of low birth weight infants is 6%. Is the incidence of low birth weight infants in North Carolina different than that? Use the 95% confidence interval to answer this question. (5 points) 3. Maintaining a healthy weight is important for women's health. Some physicians recommend being back to your pre-pregnancy weight six months after giving birth. Public health officials are interested in whether this is a realistic goal. Do the women in North Carolina weigh more than their pre-pregnancy weight six months postpartum? In other words, is the six months post-pregnancy weight greater than their pre-pregnancy weight? Use a paired samples t-test to compare pst6wght (variable 1) and prewght (variable 2). This uses pst6wght-prewght. (15 points) 4. In recent years, the number of women having children while unmarried has increased substantially in the United States. This is also the case in North Carolina, and some public health officials in the state are concerned that unmarried women have poorer birth outcomes. They think married women have longer periods of gestation and higher birth weight infants then women who are unmarried. Determine if there is sufficient evidence to support this theory by a.) comparing married and unmarried women on the variable weeks and b.) comparing married and unmarried women on the variable tounces using independent sample t-tests. Assume that the variances across married and unmarried women are equal. (30 points) For each of the t-tests in #3 and #4: 1. Set-up hypotheses and significance level (2 points per variable) 2. Set-up decision rule (2 points per variable) 3. Compute test statistic (9 points per variable) 4.
