Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy.Given the listed requirements fromtheprevious questions, are they all met.
Requirement #1: The selected sample must be a simple random sample: This is not mentioned in the question so in order to conduct this test, we need to assume this sample is a simple random sample. We will state it as such.
Requirement #2: The conditions for abinomialdistribution must be met.These requirements are met. There are 291 independent trials with the same probability from trial to trial and only two possible outcomes: boy or girl.
Requirement #3: Bothnp5andnq5so the the binomial distribution can be approximated with a normal distribution. This is very important and must be calculated each time to ensure that our binomial distribution is not overly skewed. If p, the proportion of successes is either very large or very small, the binomial distribution will be too skewed to approximate with a normal distribution. As such, we would need a different method to run this test. It is important to check BOTH parts of this.

Question 14 Nicotine Patches. In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 39 were smoking one year after the treatment and 32 were not smoking one year after the treatment (based on data from "High-Dose Nicotine Patch Therapy," by Dale et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 274, No, 17). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking a year after the treatment.
