Question

The US National Center for Health Statistics records information on each baby born in the US, including details such as time of day, gender, weight. From this dataset, it is possible to extract data on the day of the week on which babies are born. Potentially babies should be born with equal frequency on every day of the week, but in many regions, this does not seem to be the case. Here we'll review a subset of data to see if babies are born equally on all days of the week. Compose a question: Compile hypotheses: Ho: Ha: Choose a test and explain your choice: Run the test and make observations:

Explanation / Answer

Are babies born in equal numbers on each day of the week in US?

Hypothesis: babies are born in equal numbers on each day of the week in US.

Ho: the null hypothesis: babies born in equal numbers on each day of the week in US

Ha: the alternative hypothesis: babies are not born in equal numbers on each day of the week in US

By testing the significant level we can accept or reject the hypothesis.     

After running the test the significance levels will be low suggesting that babies are not born in equal numbers on each day of the week in US.
