- A study was conducted to assess the effects that occur when children are exposed to cocaine before birth. Children were tested at age 4 for object assembly skill, which was described as "a task requiring visual spatial skills related to mathematical competence.They 180 children born to cocaine users had a mean of 7.3 and a standard deviation of 2.9. The 182 children not exposed to cocaine had a mean score of 8.3 with a standard deviation of 3.1. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random sample selected from a normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviation's are equal. Let's population 1 be hildren born to cocaine users. use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that prenatal cocaine exposure is associated with lower scores of four-year-old children on the test of object assembly.

- The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that the mean cost of raising a child from birth to age 2 in a rural area is $8390. You believe this value is incorrect, so you select a random sample of 900 children (age 2) and find that the mean cost of this sample is $8275. From a previous study the standard deviation of the population is known to be $1540. Can one reject the claim that the mean cost is $8390?
