Maternal Smoking and Infant Health
Stat Labs: Mathematical Statistics through Applications
Chapter 1
Introduction
In this assignment, the birth weights of babies born to smokers and none-smokers will be compared. Some background information is already given in “Stat Labs: Mathematical Statistics through Applications” text book about the average weights of newborn babies. Furthermore statistical information such as number of smoking mothers, none-smoking mothers, their babies’ weights are also given at the website link “http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/users/statlabs/labs.html” and will be used as reference for this assignment.
