The federal government has asked officials in Milwaukee County to collect data on the Supplemental Nutrition Program
Question:
The federal government has asked officials in Milwaukee County to collect data on the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Milwaukee. Federal officials are concerned about whether children born to non-English-speaking parents are as healthy as those born to native speakers. County officials decide to conduct a pilot study to examine whether there are any differences between these groups. Specifi cally, officials will examine birth weight data for the two groups (measured in pounds and ounces). Two randomly selected samples of WIC participants are included in the study (each sample includes 100 individuals). Th e first sample of birth weight data is for babies born to non-English-speaking (NENGLISH) parents. Th e second sample is birth weight data for babies born to native speakers (ENGLISH). State the null and alternative hypotheses. Test the hypotheses using a difference of means test.
